An analyst is working through data on comparing performance scores in different schools across the state, for ranking purposes. Since there is a lot of data and some extreme outliers, the analyst is trying to determine which type of statistical average would best represent the results. Which of the following is a concern when relying too heavily on summary statistics during data analysis?
Summary statistics are numerical measures that describe certain characteristics of a data set, such as the mean, median, mode, standard deviation, range, or quartiles. Summary statistics can help simplify and communicate complex data, but they can also obscure or distort important information, such as the distribution, shape, outliers, or trends of the data. Contextualization is the process of providing relevant background information, assumptions, limitations, or explanations for the data analysis and its results. Contextualization can help avoid misinterpretation, confusion, or bias when using summary statistics. Contextualization can also help connect the data analysis to the business problem, objectives, and stakeholders.

A data dictionary is being developed for a dataset describing a company's customer base. Within the data dictionary, which of the following represents a composite data element?
A composite data element is a data element that is made up of smaller units called sub-elements, which are separated by a sub-element separator character, such as a colon (:). For example, ITEMNO is a composite data element that consists of three sub-elements: part number, aisle number, and bin number. A street address is also a composite data element that can consist of sub-elements such as street number, street name, city, state, and zip code. First name, total sale, and birthdate are simple data elements that do not have sub-elements.
