Question

Which one is not a characteristic of Mathematics ?

• A. Predictability
• B. Accuracy
• C. Uncertainty of results
• D. Objectivity

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Uncertainty of results

The characteristic "Uncertainty of results" is not typically associated with mathematics.

Mathematics is known for its certainty, precision, and rigor. Once a mathematical theorem or result is proven, it is considered universally true, given the assumptions and definitions. In mathematics:

• Clarity and exactness are central.

• Logical consistency is a key feature.

• Certainty is emphasized through rigorous proofs.

In contrast, "uncertainty" is more commonly associated with fields like statistics, probability theory, or quantum mechanics, where outcomes may be probabilistic or uncertain due to variability or inherent randomness.

Thus, uncertainty of results is not a characteristic of mathematics in general.
