Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Analytics are divided into descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive. Descriptive addresses questions like what happened to our sales last month. The focus is on describing the past through reporting, data visualization, and dashboards. Predictive analytics address what will our sales likely be next month. Statistical models use past and current events to predict the future. Finally, prescriptive analytics addresses questions such as what needs to change to improve sales of our worst selling product. Simulation tools are often used to better understand relationships and dependencies among variables of interest.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
