Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

June has only 30 days, so June 31 is not a valid date. A reasonableness check compares the entered data to expected values and would identify this error. The other choices would not necessarily catch this mistake. Online prompting refers to system messages that guide the user through data entry. A mathematical accuracy check would ensure that numeric values are accurate, but it would not catch an invalid date. A preformatted screen refers to a display format for data entry, which would not necessarily identify incorrect data.
