CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 246

Which of the following terms best describes a situation in which a rating scale does not conform to previously agreed upon requirements?

Answer options

• A. Specification mismatch
• B. Incorrect sampling
• C. Data corruption
• D. Redundancy

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, Specification mismatch, indicates that the rating scale does not align with the defined specifications. Incorrect sampling refers to issues with data collection methods, Data corruption implies damage to data integrity, and Redundancy denotes unnecessary duplication, none of which directly relate to the conformity of a rating scale to requirements.
