A prescriptive analysis

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question presents a term and asks you to identify its descriptive nature among the options.
Option 1: 'assesses what is happening currently and in the past.' This describes descriptive analysis, which focuses on understanding past and present conditions rather than prescribing actions. It’s about describing data, not advising future steps.
Option 2: 'helps determine what should happen to meet goals or objectives.' This statement aligns with prescriptive analysis, which suggests actions or interventions to achieve desired outcomes and meet specified goals.
Option 3: 'identifies a problem to understand why an outcome occurred.' This resembles diagnostic or exploratory analysis, where the aim is to understand causes or problems rather than prescribing what to do next.
Option 4: 'predicts what might happen in the future.' This is characteristic of predictive analysis, which estimates likely future states based on data, not necessarily recommending concrete actions.
Thus, each option maps to a distinct type of analysis: descriptive, prescriptive, diagnostic, and predictive, respectively. The prescriptive option is the one that answers the question about prescriptive analysis, as it explicitly mentions determining what should happen to achieve goals.
