20+ practice questions focused on Data Governance — one of the most tested topics on the CompTIA Data+ (DA0-002) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Data Governance PracticeA data analyst encounters the above error log when trying to connect to a database. The analyst needs to explain the issue to the database administrator. Which of the following correctly describes the problem?
Explanation: In this scenario of a database connection failure, the most likely cause is that the connection pool has reached its maximum limit. This means all available connections are in use, preventing new connections. The other options are less common causes for such connection issues.
A data analyst is presenting findings to a non-technical audience. Which data visualization technique is most appropriate?
Explanation: Bar charts are the most appropriate visualization for a non-technical audience because they present categorical comparisons in a simple, intuitive format that requires no statistical background to interpret. Unlike box plots, heat maps, or scatter plots, bar charts clearly show relative magnitudes with minimal cognitive load, making them ideal for communicating data insights to stakeholders who may not be familiar with data analysis conventions.
A data analyst is tasked with presenting the results of a customer churn analysis to a group of marketing managers. The model identified that customers with low engagement scores are 3 times more likely to churn. The analyst wants to effectively communicate this finding to persuade the managers to focus on engagement. Which of the following is the most compelling way to present this insight?
Explanation: Translating the analytical finding into potential revenue impact directly addresses the managers' business goals and provides a persuasive, actionable argument for focusing on engagement. In contrast, options A, B, and C present the data factually but lack the compelling business context needed to drive decision-making.
A data analyst creates a dashboard for executives that shows a key metric trending downward. The analyst notices that the metric is highly volatile day-to-day. Which visualization type is most appropriate to show the underlying trend?
Explanation: A 7-day moving average line chart smooths out daily volatility to reveal the trend. A daily bar chart shows noise; a pie chart is inappropriate for trends; a scatter plot with regression line could show correlation but not trend over time as clearly.
Refer to the exhibit. A data analyst is reviewing the job log. Which of the following best explains the reduction in record count?
Explanation: The job aggregated data by region and date, reducing granularity from transactional to summary level. The null exclusion of 50 records is minor and cannot account for the substantial reduction. Options A, B, and D are incorrect: A is wrong because null exclusion is minor; B is wrong because no filter is mentioned; D is wrong because the job completed successfully.
