c.) Both of the above

d.) Neither of the above

Explanation / Answer

1. ordinal data. In ordinal data ordered categories and the distance between the categories is not known, as it is not same as interval data.

2. The mean is far more affected, mean measures of central tendency is most affected by single outlying data value.

3. Shorter cycle create barriers to entry in the product life cycle.

4. organisation manage by a factor for performance evaluation, improvement and the decision making as it include all of the above.

5. Cashflow are typically positive during the introduction phase of the product life cycle.

6.Pivot tables may contain as many as 2 row categories.

7. A3 is a structured problem solving process similar to PDCA STYLE.
