A manager of a fast food restaurant wants to ensure that staff are scheduled with the sufficient hours required to meet customer demands without overspending on labor costs. The manager has daily guest counts, sales data, and staff hours for the prior year. What should the manager do next in order to reach conclusions about scheduling restaurant staff?

• Schedule staff based on the staffing levels used on the same date the prior year.

• Perform descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and time series analysis.

• Create a graph of the data and extend the graph forward in time to set the schedule.

• Provide the data sets to the restaurant owner for analysis by the owners staff.
