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.

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

,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".

explanation for Gavin's win. Therefore, it weakens Dada's conclusion that their shoes
have been to reason for Gavin's win. The other facts only make Gavin's
accomplishment while wearing Dada's shoes more impressive and, hence, tend to
support Dada's conclusion.
