CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 16

A data analyst is asked to create a sales report for the second-quarter 2020 board meeting, which will include a review of the business’s performance through the second quarter. The board meeting will be held on July 15, 2020, after the numbers are finalized. Which of the following report types should the data analyst create?

Answer options

• A. Static
• B. Real-time
• C. Self-service
• D. Dynamic

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Static, as it refers to a report that presents finalized data at a specific point in time, suitable for the board meeting's needs. Real-time (B) and Dynamic (D) reports are not appropriate since they involve ongoing updates, which is unnecessary since the numbers will be finalized before the meeting. Self-service (C) reports allow users to create their own reports, which does not align with the request for a specific sales report.
