,Business statistics is a scientific approach to decision-making in the face of risk
and is used in many disciplines, such as financial analysis, econometrics, auditing,
production and operations, and marketing research. The main objective of
business statistics is to make inferences about certain characteristics of a
population based on information contained in a random sample from the entire
population.
Statistical forecasting concentrates on using the past to predict the future by
identifying trends, patterns and business drives within the data to develop a
forecast. This forecast is referred to as a statistical forecast because it uses
mathematical formulas to identify the patterns and trends while testing the
results for mathematical reasonableness and confidence. Statistical forecasting is
used for forecasting sales and budget.

Soy- and rice- based diets are very popular in Third World countries. The soy bean
has a higher phytate content than any other grain or legume that has been
studied. Phytate is an organic acid, present in the bran or hulls of all seeds, which
blocks the uptake of essential minerals - calcium, magnesium, iron and especially
zinc - in the intestinal tract.
Soy beans seem to be highly resistant to many phytate-reducing techniques such
as long, slow cooking. Only a long period of fermentation will significantly reduce
the phytate content of soy beans. Thus, fermented products such as tempeh and
miso provide nourishment that is easily assimilated. When precipitated soy
