Certificate in Business Data Analytics (CBDA) — Question 50

The analytics team has completed analyzing a dataset and unfortunately the data didn’t deliver the kinds of insights that the team was hoping for. After much contemplation, they decide to:

Answer options

• A. Summarize the results and indicate the outcome was inconclusive
• B. Inform management that analytics could not derive insightful results
• C. Wait a few weeks and rerun the analysis using refreshed data
• D. Restart the work with formation of a new research question

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it is appropriate for the team to summarize their findings and acknowledge that the results were inconclusive. Option B is less constructive as it does not provide a clear outcome and may damage the team's credibility. Option C suggests a delay without addressing the current results, and option D implies starting over, which may not be necessary if the existing analysis is summarized properly.
