With respect to the data processing$$ cycle, explain the phrase$$ "garbage in$,$ garbage$$ out".

A$.$

When$$ garbage, defined as$$ errors, is allowed into a system that error is processed and the resultant data stored. The stored data at some point will become output.$$ Thus, the phrase garbage$$ in$,$ garbage out. Data errors are even more problematic in ERP systems because the error can affect many more applications than an error in a$$ non$-$integrated database.

Your answer is correct.B$.$

When$$ garbage, defined as$$ errors, is allowed into a system that error is processed and the resultant data stored. The stored data at some point will become output.$$ Thus, the phrase garbage$$ in$,$ garbage out. Data errors are likely to be the same in ERP systems or in a$$ non$-$integrated database.

C$.$

There is a possibility that data allowed into a system will be processed$$ incorrectly, resulting in that incorrect data being stored. The stored data at some point will become output.$$ Thus, the phrase garbage$$ in$,$ garbage out. Data errors are likely to be the same in ERP systems or in a$$ non$-$integrated database.

D$.$

When$$ garbage, defined as$$ errors, is allowed into a system that error is processed and the resultant data stored. The stored data at some point will become input.$$ Thus, the phrase garbage$$ in$,$ garbage out. Data errors are less problematic in ERP systems because the error can affect less applications than an error in a$$ non$-$integrated database.

C$.$

Source documents are manually numbered to avoid any documents being misplaced.
