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.
