Question

Which type of analysis shows what the outcome is as well how likely each outcome is?

Options

  • Aexploratory
  • Bdescriptive
  • Cprobabilistic
  • Ddeterministic

Explanation

Probabilistic analysis differs from other analysis types by quantifying both the possible outcomes and the likelihood (probability) of each occurring.

Common mistakes.

  • A. Exploratory analysis is used to discover unknown patterns or relationships in data and does not assign probabilities to outcomes.
  • B. Descriptive analysis summarizes historical data to explain what has already occurred, without modeling future outcome likelihoods.
  • D. Deterministic analysis assumes fixed inputs produce a single, certain output with no probability distribution across outcomes.
