Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Statistical analysis requires quantifiable historical data to be meaningful. These methods rely on past data to project future probabilities and potential impacts. Therefore, statistical analysis is most appropriate when such data is available.

Familiarity with qualitative methods (B) is irrelevant to whether statistical analysis is appropriate. Senior management's mathematical knowledge (C) is also not the determining factor.
