Business statistics is a scientific approach to decision-making in the
face of risk and is used in many disciplines, such as financial
analysis, econometrics, auditing, production and operations, and
marketing research. The main objective of business statistics is to
make inferences about certain characteristics of a population based
on information contained in a random sample from the entire
population.
Statistical forecasting concentrates on using the past to predict the
future by identifying trends, patterns and business drives within the
data to develop a forecast. This forecast is referred to as a statistical
forecast because it uses mathematical formulas to identify the
patterns and trends while testing the results for mathematical
reasonableness and confidence. Statistical forecasting is used for
forecasting sales and budget.
,Question #1
Statistical forecasting deals with estimating the likelihood of an
event Correct Answer - The correct answer is: True
How to solve this question?
The passage says that statistical forecasting concentrates on using
the past to identify patterns and trends. This information is used to
predict the future, such as forecasting sales and budget. Therefore,
the answer is "True".

Soy- and rice- based diets are very popular in Third World
countries. The soy bean has a higher phytate content than any other
grain or legume that has been studied. Phytate is an organic acid,
present in the bran or hulls of all seeds, which blocks the uptake of
essential minerals - calcium, magnesium, iron and especially zinc - in
the intestinal tract.
Soy beans seem to be highly resistant to many phytate-reducing
techniques such as long, slow cooking. Only a long period of
fermentation will significantly reduce the phytate content of soy
beans. Thus, fermented products such as tempeh and miso provide
nourishment that is easily assimilated. When precipitated soy
, products are consumed with meat, the mineral-blocking effects of
the phytates are reduced.
Question #4
People in Third World countries have low levels of calcium,
magnesium, iron and zinc
Answer options
True
False
Can't say Correct Answer - The correct answer is: Can't say
How to solve this question?
Even though phytate blocks the uptake of these minerals, there is no
evidence given that people in third-world countries have low levels
of these compounds. The passage says that soy- and rice-based diets
are very popular in these countries, but it does not go far enough to
be able to say definitively that persons are deficient in these
essentials. Even if the statement is true, it is not supported by the
information in the passage, and the response is "Can't say".
Question #5

Robin.
Please select the one that is different.
Answer options
A. Finch
B. Crow
C. Ostrich
