QSBA2018 Exam - Question 7


A retailer with 300 locations worldwide needs to analyze its workforce to prepare for its next board meeting. The two most important items to the board members are total compensation and number of employees by city.

Which visualization should a business analyst use to meet this requirement?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

A map would be the most appropriate visualization for showing the number of employees by city along with their total compensation. It provides a geographical context which can be very useful for board members to quickly identify regions with more employees and higher compensation, facilitating a clear and intuitive understanding.

D: Map is the correct answer B: is wrong for two reasons, based on the tutorial from Qlik Sense official youtube channel 1. Bar chart useful to compare values sides by side (which is not the case here) 2. Disadvantage of bar chart: does not work well with many dimension values due to the limitation of the axis length

I think option D is correct, but I have doubts about option A. Scatter plots are used to compare two measures (total compensation and number of employees), maybe it is the correct option.
