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 #2
Using statistics in decision-making eliminates business risks
Answer options
True
False
Can't say - Answer- The correct answer is: Can't say
How to solve this question?
The information given is that business statistics are used for decision-making in the face
of risk. There is no suggestion in the passage that such use eliminates business risks, and the answer therefore is "Can't say".
Question #3
There is no kid that doesn't like chocolate.
What inference can be drawn from this sentence?
Answer options
A. Everyone who likes chocolate is a kid. B. All kids like chocolate. C. There are kids that don't like chocolate. D. Only kids like chocolate. - Answer- The correct answer is: All kids like chocolate.
How to solve this question?
A double negative (no kid + doesn't like) turns into a positive. A no statement turns into an all statement. Kid => likes chocolate 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 - 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

Please select the one that is different.
Answer options
A. Finch B. Crow C. Ostrich D. Robin - Answer- The correct answer is: Ostrich
How to solve this question?
All are birds, but the ostrich is the only one that cannot fly.
Question #6 Gavin beat Jerry in a marathon race wearing Dada running shoes. Dada came out, on the same day, with an ad campaign saying that their new Dada shoes made Gavin win.
Which of the following facts weakens Dada's conclusion?
Answer options
A. Jerry was unwell on the day of the marathon. B. Gavin has never beaten Jerry in previous marathons. C. Jerry took steroids to increase his performance on the day of the marathon. D. Jerry has been considered the fastest marathon runner till now. - Answer- The correct answer is: Jerry was unwell on the day of the marathon.
How to solve this question?
The fact that Jerry was unwell on the day of the marathon offers an alternative 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.
Question #7
Three of the following are alike in some way: Tailor, Footman, Butler, Equerry
Please select the one that is different.
Answer options
A. Tailor B. Footman C. Butler D. Equerry - Answer- The correct answer is: Tailor
How to solve this question?
Three of these occupations refer to household staff. A tailor, however, is a general trade
not specially associated with domestic service.
