optional speed track for those experienced in data analytics
the google data analytics certificate provides instruction and feedback for learners hoping to earn a position as an entry - level data analyst. while many learners will be brand new to the world of data analytics, others may be familiar with the field and simply wanting to brush up on certain skills.
if you believe this course will be primarily a refresher for you, we recommend taking this practice diagnostic quiz. it will enable you to determine if you should follow the speed track, which is an opportunity to proceed to course 4 after taking each of the course 3 module challenges and the overall course 4 challenge. learners who earn 100% on the diagnostic quiz can treat course 3 videos, readings, and activities as optional. learners following the speed track are still able to earn the certificate.
get ready to take the next step in your data analytics journey with the question below!
a data analyst at a construction company is working on a report for a quickly approaching deadline. why might they choose to analyze only historical data?
○ the data is constantly changing.
○ the data is difficult to predict.
○ the project has a very short time frame.
○ they enjoy historical references.

Explanation:

When facing a quickly approaching deadline, analyzing only historical data is the most efficient choice because it is readily available and does not require waiting for or processing real-time, constantly changing data. Difficulty of prediction is not stated as a factor, and a short timeframe would make relying on historical data (which is accessible) necessary, not the reason for choosing it. Enjoying historical references is not a professional, deadline-driven reason.

Answer:

The data is constantly changing.
