What type of analytics would be performed to answer this question?

  1. Descriptive
  2. Predictive
  3. Diagnostic
  4. Prescriptive

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Predictive analytics is a type of analytics that uses historical and current data, as well as statistical and machine learning techniques, to forecast future events or outcomes, such as product purchases, customer behavior, or market trends12. To answer the question `How many product purchases are expected this coming year given the current marketing campaign?', predictive analytics would be performed to estimate the demand and sales based on the existing data and the marketing campaign variables.

An insurance company has seen an upward trend in winter-related accidents over the past three years. The company has just completed an analytics study to better understand the primary reasons for these accidents and assess how many of the drivers were using winter tires. This analysis will help the company decide how to move forward with drivers not taking precautionary measures during winter.
What type of analysis will help in determining the primary reasons and percentage of those drivers with winter tires?

  1. Prescriptive
  2. Descriptive and Predictive
  3. Descriptive
  4. Descriptive and Diagnostic

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Descriptive analytics is a type of analytics that summarizes and visualizes the data to provide an overview of what has happened or is happening, such as the trend of winter-related accidents over the past three years, or the percentage of drivers using winter tires12. Diagnostic analytics is a type of analytics that explores and analyzes the data to understand why something has happened or is happening, such as the primary reasons for these accidents, or the factors that influence the drivers' decisions13. To answer the question, both descriptive and diagnostic analytics would be needed to provide the relevant information and insights for the company.

A Human Resource manager recently learned that their competitor reduced employee attrition rates by 20% after implementing personality tests as part of their screening process. Intrigued by the idea, the manager suggests collecting data on personality tests and attrition rates over the next year. The data from this year is then analyzed to explore possible relationships.
What type of analytics has the team been asked to perform?

  1. Predictive
  2. Descriptive
  3. Prescriptive
  4. Diagnostic

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Descriptive analytics is a type of analytics that summarizes and visualizes the data to provide an overview of what has happened or is happening, such as the attrition rates and the personality test scores of the employees12. The team has been asked to perform descriptive analytics to explore possible relationships between the data variables, without making any predictions or prescriptions for the future.

A large telecommunications company wants to increase their Average Revenue Per User per month by 5%, by end of year, to increase revenue in a highly competitive market. From a SMART target perspective, what is missing?

  1. T - The increase should be seen sooner
  2. A - It is too easy of a target to attain
  3. R - Since competition is high, focus should be on increasing customer base and not on ARPU
  4. S - There is no mention of which product group/line the target pertains to

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A SMART target is one that is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound1. The target of increasing the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) per month by 5%, by end of year, to increase revenue in a highly competitive market is missing the specificity criterion, as it does not mention which product group or line the target applies to. The target should be more specific and clear about the scope and context of the desired outcome, such as which segment, region, or service the target relates to23.
