Sample Practice Questions
Question 1: A data analyst needs to combine data from a cloud-based CRM and an on-premises SQL database. Which architecture is most appropriate for transforming this data after it has been loaded into a centralized data warehouse?
A. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load)
B. ELT (Extract, Load, Transform)
C. Data Classification
D. Data Archiving
E. Symmetric Encryption
F. Master Data Management (MDM)
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
B (Correct): ELT is the modern standard for cloud data warehousing where data is loaded first and then transformed using the processing power of the warehouse itself.
A (Incorrect): ETL performs transformations before loading, which is less efficient for modern high-volume cloud environments.
C (Incorrect): This refers to labeling data by sensitivity, not a movement architecture.
D (Incorrect): Archiving is the long-term storage of inactive data.
E (Incorrect): This is a security method for data at rest or in transit.
F (Incorrect): MDM is a process for ensuring consistent data across an organization, not a specific integration architecture.
Question 2: Under a robust Data Governance framework, who is primarily responsible for the day-to-day technical maintenance and quality of a specific dataset?
A. Data Owner
B. Data Steward
C. Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
D. End User
E. Data Custodian
F. Third-party Auditor
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
E (Correct): The Data Custodian (often a Database Administrator) handles the technical "how" of data—storage, backups, and technical integrity.
B (Incorrect): The Data Steward focuses on the "what"—the meaning and business context of the data.
A (Incorrect): The Data Owner is usually a high-level executive responsible for the "why" and overall legal accountability.
C (Incorrect): While accountable for the company, the CEO does not handle day-to-day data maintenance.
D (Incorrect): End users consume the data but do not maintain its technical quality.
F (Incorrect): Auditors verify compliance but do not perform maintenance.
Question 3: Which visualization type is most effective for showing the relationship between two continuous variables to identify potential correlations?
A. Pie Chart
B. Bar Chart
C. Scatter Plot
D. Box and Whisker Plot
E. Heat Map
F. Gantt Chart
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
C (Correct): Scatter plots are the industry standard for visualizing the distribution and correlation between two numerical variables.
A (Incorrect): Pie charts show parts of a whole, not correlations.
B (Incorrect): Bar charts compare categorical data.
D (Incorrect): Box plots show distribution and outliers but are less effective for showing direct correlation between two variables than scatter plots.
E (Incorrect): Heat maps show magnitude but can obscure individual data points compared to a scatter plot.
F (Incorrect): Gantt charts are used for project scheduling.
