Question

multiple choice question
how does missing, fake, or inaccurate data create problems?
○ human intervention is required to replace or correct the data.
○ it makes the data irretrievable.
○ it stops the data accumulation process, causing a backlog.
○ it skews the data patterns, making the determination of meaningful results difficult.

Explanation:

Missing, fake, or inaccurate data can distort the true - nature of data sets. This distortion affects the patterns within the data, making it hard to draw valid and meaningful conclusions from the data analysis. While human intervention might be needed for correction (but not always), data isn't always irretrievable, and it doesn't necessarily stop data accumulation. The main problem is the impact on the integrity of results.

Answer:

It skews the data patterns, making the determination of meaningful results difficult.
