CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 213

An employer needs to maintain adequate office staffing during the winter and wants to track storm data. Which of the following data collection methods should the employer use?

Answer options

• A. Web scraping
• B. Public databases
• C. Observations
• D. Weather surveys

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as public databases provide comprehensive and reliable storm data that can help the employer make informed staffing decisions. Web scraping may not yield consistent results, observations can be subjective and limited in scope, and weather surveys may not cover all necessary data points effectively.
