Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Business Media

Question: Describe about the Critical Thinking and Problem Solving for Business Media. Answer: 1.Problems that are puzzles: The puzzle like problems require lateral thinking and critical assessment for solving, it generally evaluates ones intelligence in terms of application of knowledge. The current solution to a puzzle like problem is to determine the problem statement along with suitable solutions (Ericsson and Hastie 2013). The puzzle can be logical, mathematical, mechanical, or practical based upon the knowledge application. Puzzle is stated as difficult yet cognitive problems that assess a persons inductive reasoning along with aptitude of related thinking for solving. The solving process requires better deduction skills as well. Problems with uncertainties: Uncertain problems are identified to be situations or scenarios that might have suitable solutions or may not have suitable solutions. The problems are based on some uncertain factors as approximation or truncated values in scenarios (Miller 2013). For instance, problems might require estimating exact value; however, the value may be closer to round-up value. Problems deal with fractional or percentage values with certain level of precision that requires uncertain factors (Nickerson, Yen and Mahoney 2012). The uncertainty problems may have rough estimation at times with up to two or three decimal points. The uncertain problems are challenging to solve with exact outcome generation. 2. Type Text Claim In an age where we increasingly communicate via email, text messages, and social media posts instead of face-to-face, it can be hard to judge whether we are getting the tone right. Issue Can it be hard to judge the tone right, in an age where we increasingly communicate via email, text messages, and social media posts instead of face-to-face? Statement But what if there was an app for that? Would you trust a piece of software to communicate with your boss or your loved one for you? Argument Premise/Conclusion Without the non-verbal cues we take for granted when talking in person with someone or even on the phone it can be hard to know whether what youre saying is being taken the right way. Claim McNeil believes people might be ready for some assistance with these kinds of tricky communication tasks. For example, when you meet someone and you like that person, people often have friends workshop their texts. Issue Might people be ready for some assistance with these kinds of tricky communication tasks? Statement If you're trying to set up a date with someone you might reach out to a bunch of your friends and say, what should I say to this person? Argument Premise/Conclusion We sometimes outsource it to our friends because this is just a constant problem. Claim Theres a wonderfully cheerful, realisticadvert-like videothat explains how it might work. Issue Does that wonderfully cheerful, realisticadvert-like videoexplain how it might work? Statement Lets employ the technology! Argument Premise/Conclusion It was important to us to build a functioning app, so that it would go beyond speculative design fiction or sci-fi, McCarthy says. Because it is a real app, when you encounter it, you are faced with choices and questions. Table 1: Claim, Issue, Statement and Premise/Conclusion Identification (Source: Created by author) 3. The provided argument is as following: Alex wants to pass the maths unit. If Maria does not go out then she will help Alex with his maths homework. Alex will fail the maths unit if Maria does not help him with his maths homework. Therefore if Maria goes out, Alex will fail the maths unit. Maria goes out is taken as M and Maria does not go out is taken as ~M Maria will help Alex with his maths homework is taken as H and Maria does not help him with his maths homework is taken as ~H Alex will fail the maths unit is taken as ~A and Alex wants to pass the maths unit is taken as A ~M - H ~A - ~H ------------------------- M - ~A Therefore, the entire expression is formed as follows: [(~M - H) (~A - ~H)] - (M - ~A) Therefore, the simplified form is as following: (((NOT M) IMPLIES H) AND ((NOT A) IMPLIES (NOT H))) IMPLIES (M IMPLIES (NOT A)) The truth is formed as following: A H M [(~M - H) (~A - ~H)] - (M - ~A) T T T F T T F T T F T F T F F T F T T T F T F T F F T T F F F T Table 2: Truth table for the given argument (Source: Created by author) The above argument is invalid because this truth table is not tautology. 4. D (S à ¢Ã¢â‚¬â€Ã‚  ~D) D à ¢Ã¢â‚¬â€Ã‚  ~C C~S ----------------------- (~D à ¢Ã¢â‚¬â€Ã‚  ~S) v ~C As per the provided arguments, the entire expression can be formed as: [(D (S ~D)) (D ~C) (C ~S)] ((~D ~S) V ~C) Therefore, the simplified form is as following: ((D IMPLIES (S AND (NOT D))) AND D AND (NOT C) AND (C IMPLIES (NOT S))) IMPLIES (((NOT D) AND (NOT S)) OR (NOT C)) The truth table is formed as following: C S D [(D (S ~D)) (D ~C) (C ~S)] ((~D ~S) V ~C) F F F T F F T T F T F T F T T T T F F T T F T T T T F T T T T T Table 3: Truth table for the given argument (Source: Created by author) The above argument is valid because this truth table is a tautology.
