CFP Data Analysis & Reporting 3

Question 1

A CFP is calculating a client's net caloric deficit from food logs and exercise data. The client consumes 2,100 kcal/day and burns an estimated 2,650 kcal/day. What is the projected weekly weight loss?

Accepted Answer

1.1 lbs/week

Answer

A 550 kcal/day deficit × 7 days = 3,850 kcal/week ÷ 3,500 kcal/lb ≈ 1.1 lbs/week.

Question 2

Which data collection method introduces the MOST recall bias when assessing a client's weekly physical activity?

Accepted Answer

7-day retrospective self-report questionnaire

Answer

Retrospective self-reports rely on memory and are highly susceptible to recall bias compared to objective or real-time data collection.

Question 3

A gym's monthly new member report shows: January 45, February 38, March 52, April 41. What is the mean monthly enrollment?

Accepted Answer

43.5

Answer

(45 + 38 + 52 + 41) ÷ 4 = 176 ÷ 4 = 44, not 43.5 — the correct mean is 44.

Question 4

A client tracks perceived exertion using the Borg RPE scale. Scores of 6-20 map to approximate heart rate by multiplying RPE by 10. A client reports RPE 15 during cardio. The estimated heart rate is:

Accepted Answer

150 bpm

Answer

RPE 15 × 10 = 150 bpm estimated heart rate using the Borg scale conversion method.

Question 5

When reporting program outcomes to a corporate wellness client, which format BEST supports executive decision-making about program renewal?

Accepted Answer

Summary dashboard with aggregate KPIs and trends

Answer

Executive stakeholders need concise aggregate KPIs and trends to make strategic decisions, not raw data or exhaustive methodological details.
