Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) — Question 85

Incipia Corporation just trained the last of its 300 employees on their new privacy policies and procedures.
If Incipia wanted to analyze the effectiveness of the training over the next 6 months, which form of trend analysis should they use?

Answer options

• A. Cyclical.
• B. Irregular.
• C. Statistical.
• D. Standard variance.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Statistical, as it involves using statistical methods to measure and analyze the effectiveness of training over time. The other options, such as Cyclical and Irregular, refer to patterns found in data but do not specifically relate to measuring training effectiveness, while Standard variance pertains to a method of measuring variability rather than direct analysis of training outcomes.
