Business/Commerce (general)
There are also some “availability heuristics,” such as “anchoring manual forecasts” in the presence of the budget and statistical forecast (and the term “manual” can hardly ever be associated with effectiveness), as well as the “forecast vs. expectation” approach. When demand is stable or with the normal (Gauss) distribution curve, the expected value and the most probable value are similar. But when demand is lumpier with skewed distribution (i.e., Poisson distribution curve), the mode is skewed to the left of the expectation.

Dire que le mode est ‘skewed’ veut dire tout le contraire : la distribution n’est pas centrée parce que le mode est à la gauche de l’espérance mathématique
