Question

when analyzing a technological system, what would most likely happen if the people input was highly skilled but the information input was inaccurate? the system would produce perfect outputs because skilled people can overcome any obstacle the system would fail because skilled people cannot compensate for fundamentally flawed information the system would be more expensive but produce the same quality output the system would work normally since people and information are independent inputs a company wants to reduce production time for their smartphones but maintain quality. which combination of input modifications would be most effective? reduce energy consumption and increase material quality increase finances only to buy faster machines hire more people and use cheaper materials improve tools machines and provide better information to workers simultaneously

Explanation:

For the first question: In a technological system, if the "People" input is highly skilled but the "Information" input is inaccurate, the system would fail. Skilled people cannot compensate for fundamentally flawed information. For example, if engineers (skilled people) are given incorrect blue - prints (inaccurate information) for building a bridge, the bridge will not be built correctly.
For the second question: To reduce production time for smartphones while maintaining quality, improving tools/machines and providing better information to workers simultaneously is the best option. Better tools/machines can speed up production, and better information to workers ensures they use the tools/machines efficiently without sacrificing quality. Reducing energy consumption and increasing material quality may not directly reduce production time. Increasing finances only to buy faster machines may not be sufficient if workers don't know how to use them. Hiring more people and using cheaper materials may lead to quality issues.

Answer:

For the first question: The system would fail because skilled people cannot compensate for fundamentally flawed information.
For the second question: Improve tools/machines and provide better information to workers simultaneously.
