[Laurie Savage]

I can't agree with you there Ros. I would say that the question provides a
very brief definition of an expert system.

Hi everyone
 
My kids are doing the practice exam from the Potts textbook (its on the
website, in student resources).  One of the multiple questions reads as
follows:
 
9.  A computer system designed to analyse data and produce a recommendation
or a decision is

a/an

a. Transaction Processing System

b. Management Information System

c. Decision Support System

d. Expert System

The answer given is D.  I think this is wrong, it should be C.  What do
others think?
