DA0-002 Data Governance Practice Question
A data analyst is communicating insights about a sales forecast to stakeholders. Which three of the following should the analyst include to build trust and clarity? (Select THREE.)
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between transparency and information overload, so the trap here is that candidates think sharing raw data (Option B) is always good practice, but in stakeholder communication, raw data without context or summary statistics can confuse rather than clarify.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The confidence intervals around the forecast.
Confidence intervals are correct because they quantify the uncertainty around the forecast, providing a range within which the true value is expected to fall with a certain probability (e.g., 95%). This directly builds trust by showing stakeholders that the analyst acknowledges variability and does not present a single point estimate as absolute truth.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Only the most optimistic scenario.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Showing only one scenario is misleading and does not convey uncertainty.
- ✗
The raw data used for the forecast.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Raw data is too granular and not typically needed for understanding the forecast.
- ✓
The confidence intervals around the forecast.
Why this is correct
Correct. Confidence intervals quantify uncertainty.
- ✓
The assumptions made in the forecast model.
Why this is correct
Correct. Assumptions clarify the basis of the forecast.
- ✓
A discussion of potential risks and uncertainties.
Why this is correct
Correct. Discussing risks builds trust and prepares stakeholders for variance.
