Discussion 3 data | DAT565 | University of Phoenix

Many business activities generate data that can be thought of as random. For example, a service manager at an auto shop needs to understand the data for cars coming in for services like oil changes. A variable of interest is the amount of time necessary to service the car, since service time will vary with each car. They can often capture the most relevant characteristics with a simple probability distribution model. The service manager can then analyze the model to make predictions and drive decisions, such as how many technicians to schedule to service demand on a Saturday afternoon.
