What does a red dash indicate?

• A. An unknown discrepancy
• B. A known discrepancy
• C. A major discrepancy
• D. No discrepancy

Answer: (A)

A red dash indicates an unknown discrepancy. It flags that something doesn’t align with the expected data, but the exact cause hasn’t been identified yet. That means you should investigate further—recheck measurements, verify inputs, check calibrations, and review related data sources to determine what is wrong. This isn’t signaling a known issue with a documented cause, nor does it automatically mean a major failure. A known discrepancy would have a recorded reason, while a major discrepancy would typically trigger immediate actions and use a different indicator. No discrepancy would show no flag at all, with data matching expectations.
