Question 6 Single choice

Which of the following sets would you use to compare the members?

  1. A

    None of these

  2. B

    Dynamic Sets

  3. C

    Static Sets

  4. D

    Combined Sets

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

You can combine two sets to compare the members. When you combine sets you create a new set containing either the combination of all members, just the members that exist in both, or members that exist in one set but not the other. Combining sets allows you to answer complex questions and compare cohorts of your data. For example, to determine the percentage of customers who purchased both last year and this year, you can combine two sets containing the customers from each year and return only the customers that exist in both sets. To combine two sets, they must be based on the same dimensions. That is, you can combine a set containing the top customers with another set containing the customers that purchased last year. However, you cannot combine the top customers set with a top products set.
