Salesforce Certified Tableau CRM and Einstein Discovery Consultant — Question 79

After the initial creation of a story, the first story insight explains 93% of the variation of the outcome variable. This is unusually high.

What is the most likely reason for this?

Answer options

• A. The dataset contains too many rows.
• B. The dataset contains multiple dominant values.
• C. The outcome variable is causing data leakage.
• D. The dataset used in the story suffers from too many outlier values.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because data leakage occurs when the outcome variable unintentionally influences the predictors, leading to an inflated explanation of variability. The other options do not adequately explain the situation; having too many rows (A) or multiple dominant values (B) may not directly cause high variance, and outliers (D) would typically distort results rather than create a high percentage of explained variance.
