Section 2 – Understand how to manage electronic and paper-based information 1.
Statistics is the science of learning from data, and measuring, controlling, and communicating uncertainty. Statistics in Business Within statistics, there are four different levels of data and two different types of data. Levels of data include nominal, interval, ordinal and ratio.

In relation to your current business environment (or one that you are familiar with), identify at least two different types of information technology that may be used when completing work tasks.

In effect, we have application-level multiprogramming within a single process. While this multiprogramming can result in a significant speedup of the application, there are applications that would benefit from the ability to execute portions of code simultaneously. 4.8 Define jacketing. The purpose of jacketing is to convert a blocking system call into a non-blocking system call. For example, instead of directly calling a system I/O routine, a thread calls an application-level I/O jacket routine.

that would otherwise need to be inputted separately • Preformatted data entry makes data entry more efficient (forms are set on default and information about vendors, prices, and etc. are pulled up automatically when you input) • Minimize risk of basic clerical errors and computational errors (price extension is calculated automatically) • User access is easily and widely customizable to allow for management to define authority and roles clearly (give example of how approved vendor list and who can edit/add to that) • Peachtree perpetually updates and creates reports on command, which gives management real-time information on costs, profit, loss and etc. Manual systems usually create these months or quarterly. • Automated email alerts can be set for specific conditions on customer, vendor, employee or inventory items. For example, an email alert could be
visualization of structural secrets of data is easy and graphics give analysts unparalleled power to do so. There are various tools for Exploratory Data Analysis: Histogram Stem and Leaf Plot Scatter Plot Box and Whisker Plot QQ Plot Churn-Off Faces 1.B.a Histogram A histogram is a specialized type of bar chart that displays the distribution of data, first introduced by Karl Perason. Individual data points are grouped together in classes, so that you can get an idea of how frequently data in each class occur in the data set. A histogram is a graphical method for displaying the shape of a distribution. It is particularly useful when there are a large number of observations.
Computers can help us create and edit documents very easily and can help us speed up work. It is now easier to communicate and send documents through computers at the push of a button. The Internet and E-mail services are just two examples of many features that computers can offer. As the Internet and the computerization of work, education, and life itself lead to inequalities in the
