Question 24 • Introduction to Information Technology - EL3701

Which function is best accomplished with a database?

Answer
A
storing customers’ package tracking information
B
computing the total spent on utilities in a family’s budget
C
storing students’ grades for complex calculations to be done at the end of a marking period
D
computing formulas to perform calculations to analyze data

Explanation

A database is best suited to storing and organizing information that needs to be retrieved or updated, such as customers’ package tracking details. Calculating totals or applying formulas to analyze data is better handled by a spreadsheet, so choices B and D are not the best fit. Choice C emphasizes complex calculations, which also points more toward a spreadsheet than a database.
