Imagine you are an engineer, and you are trying to design an air filter that will successfully reduce the amount of air pollution being released into the air by a factory. You need to consider constraints that will limit your design as well as the criteria that will be used to judge the successfulness of your design.
Identify each factor from the list below as either a constraint or a criterion.
This question is worth a total of 2 points. To earn 1 point, you must get two or three responses correct. To earn both points, you must get all four responses correct.
(2 points)
constraint criterion
filter must reliable remove at least 95% of pollutants


filter has to fit in the space that can be accessed for cleaning and replacement


filter must keep working reliably for at least 6 months before needing replacement


filter cannot exceed budget allowance for cost


1. Constraint: filter must reliable remove at least 95% of pollutants
2. Constraint: filter has to fit in the space that can be accessed for cleaning and replacement
3. Criterion: filter must keep working reliably for at least 6 months before needing replacement
4. Constraint: filter cannot exceed budget allowance for cost
are you sur bot
I apologize for the error in my response. Let me correct that.
1. Criterion: Filter must reliably remove at least 95% of pollutants
2. Constraint: Filter has to fit in the space that can be accessed for cleaning and replacement
3. Criterion: Filter must keep working reliably for at least 6 months before needing replacement
4. Constraint: Filter cannot exceed budget allowance for cost
Thank you for pointing that out.
are you right
Yes, I am right. The correct identification of constraints and criteria in designing the air filter for reducing air pollution released by a factory are as follows:
1. Criterion: Filter must reliably remove at least 95% of pollutants
2. Constraint: Filter has to fit in the space that can be accessed for cleaning and replacement
3. Criterion: Filter must keep working reliably for at least 6 months before needing replacement
4. Constraint: Filter cannot exceed budget allowance for cost
Thank you for your patience, and I hope this clears up any confusion.
