take MIS 260."
Tasks
1. Create a decision table that describes the Big State University course catalog regarding eligibility for
MIS 260. Show all possible rules.
2. Simplify the table you just created. Describe the results.
3. Draw a simplified decision tree to represent the Big State University catalog. Describe the results.
4. Why might you use a decision tree rather than a decision table?
