"80% of young males who buy diapers also buy beers..."
This was one of the statistical data published in Wallstreet journal.

How did they know that diapers and beers have a connection?
How were they able to extract this piece of data from millions of numbers that had to be computed?
That's what is taught in Business analytics and Intelligence. And ofcourse, a lot more.
In the very first class, Professor Nagadevra managed to tickle the curiosity of the class with intriguing statistical data - something I had always thought as one of the most boring subjects ever!
