CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 223

Which of the following techniques should an analyst use to analyze a data set to get a snapshot of basic measures of central tendency?

Answer options

• A. Forecasting
• B. Trend analysis
• C. Gap analysis
• D. Descriptive statistics

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Descriptive statistics is the correct answer as it provides a summary of the central tendency, which includes measures such as the mean, median, and mode. The other options, such as forecasting, trend analysis, and gap analysis, focus on different aspects of data analysis and do not specifically address central tendency measures.
