Identify the Type of Analytics Being Performed

You work for MDFT Pro, a training agency that uses Microsoft Fabric for data analysis. Your team has customer churn data stored as Parquet files in OneLake. The data contains details about customer demographics and product usage.

You create a Fabric notebook to read the data into a Spark DataFrame. You then create column charts in the notebook that show the distribution of retained customers as compared to lost customers based on geography, the number of products purchased, age, and customer tenure.

What type of data analytics are you performing?

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

Diagnostic is incorrect. Diagnostic analytics focuses on understanding why something happened by analyzing patterns and relationships in data. While this analysis could be part of diagnostic analytics, the question specifically shows distribution analysis which is characteristic of descriptive analytics.
Descriptive is correct.
Prescriptive is incorrect. Prescriptive analytics goes beyond describing data to recommend specific actions or solutions. The analysis shown in the question only describes patterns and distributions without making recommendations.
Predictive is incorrect. Predictive analytics uses historical data to forecast future outcomes. The analysis in the question only shows current distributions without making any predictions about future customer behavior.
