CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 49

A data analyst is asked on the morning of April 9, 2020, to create a sales report that identifies sales year to date. The daily sales data is current through the end of the day. Which of the following date ranges should be on the report?

Answer options

• A. January 1, 2020 to April 1, 2020
• B. January 1, 2020 to April 7, 2020
• C. January 1, 2020 to April 8, 2020
• D. January 1, 2020 to April 9, 2020

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as it includes all sales data available up to the end of April 8, 2020, which is the latest complete day of data before the report is created. Option D includes April 9, which does not have complete data for that day, while A and B exclude important days of sales data needed for an accurate year-to-date report.
