I keep mixing up the beta and triangular distributions. I don't think either of those is correct for this question, though.

Tornado diagrams were definitely mentioned in our notes as a way to visualize variable importance. I hope that's the right choice!

I remember studying different types of diagrams, and I feel like the fishbone diagram is more about cause and effect, not sensitivity analysis.

I think the answer might be tornado diagram, but I'm not completely sure. It sounds familiar from our practice questions.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The tornado diagram is the chart they're describing - it's a specialized bar chart that's commonly used in sensitivity analysis to compare the relative importance of different variables. I'm going with B.

Okay, let me see if I can break this down. The key things I'm looking for are "special type of bar chart" and "used in sensitivity analysis." I think the tornado diagram sounds like the right answer, but I'll double-check my notes just to be sure.
