Probability in problem solving
Steve C. Perdikaris, Michael Gr. Voskoglou · International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology · 1994
We examine whether or not techniques well known from probability theory (optimal stopping in Markov decision processes) can help in selecting the appropriate heuristic in problem solving. We check the validity of our model using suitable examples and a new measure for the problem‐solving skills, which we have developed recently.
