Birth date and marriage date items were switched while
entering data. Which of the following data validation checks
could detect this?
A. Logical relationship
B. Sequence
C. Reasonableness
D. Validity
Answer / guest
Answer: A
If a particular condition is true, then one or more
additional conditions or data input relationships may be
required to be true and then the input may be considered as
valid. The date of marriage has to follow date of birth plus
a certain period. A logical relationship check would be
helpful in detecting this data entry error. A sequence check
would look for an ascending or descending series of entries.
A reasonableness check is used to match input data to
predetermined reasonable limits and a validity check would
validate data in accordance with predetermined criteria.
