  1. An analogue model is a model that uses metaphorical analogy, which is a concrete, to create an understanding of abstract phenomena, such as a model for predicting the number of students going into the school system which deduce the idea from opening water in and releasing water from the tank, the students that are logged in can compare to the water that opens from the tank. Therefore, students who remain in the system are equal to students who have logged in, minus students who have logged out, etc.

  4.
