On your first day at MDFT Pro, a well-known training agency, you have a Fabric tenant that contains 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. Which type of analytics are you performing?
predictive is incorrect. Predictive analytics forecasts future outcomes, but this analysis shows current distributions, not predictions.
prescriptive is incorrect. Prescriptive analytics recommends actions to take, but this analysis doesn't provide recommendations.
descriptive is correct. Descriptive analytics summarizes historical data to show what happened - the distribution of customers by geography, products, age, and tenure.
diagnostic is incorrect. Diagnostic analytics investigates why something happened, but this analysis only describes the current state of customer retention.
