Deterministic scores are usually divided into ranges indicating a match, a nonmatch, or an undetermined match.

• A. True
• B. Cannot determine
• C. Only for probabilistic
• D. False

Answer: (D)

Deterministic scoring uses a fixed rule to produce a definite decision from a comparison score. You compare the score to a threshold and classify the result as a match if it meets or exceeds the threshold, or as a nonmatch if it falls below. There isn’t an inherent third category like “undetermined” in the standard deterministic approach—the outcome is meant to be a clear yes or no. A separate inconclusive or gray-zone policy could exist, but that’s an added rule, not part of the usual deterministic framework. That’s why the statement is false: deterministic scores are not typically divided into match, nonmatch, and undetermined ranges.
