Do you or your organization use statistics to make decisions? If so, please give an example. E.g., what decisions are made? What data are collected and analyzed? How the decisions are made based on statistics? If not, why? What other mechanisms are used to make decisions? Do you see any benefit or drawback of these mechanisms? Can you see a way in which statistics can be used in your life or work?
Analyze, from your own experience, the merits of solving problems from a systematic approach rather than from some other method, e.g. spur of the moment decision making. Explain how you would make decisions if you were a manager in your workplace.
