  1. Data mining

  2. Machine learning

  3. Data analysis

  4. Data visualization


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Data mining is the process of extracting knowledge and insights from large amounts of data through the use of various techniques and algorithms.

Which tool is commonly used for data cleaning and manipulation?

  1. Pandas

  2. NumPy

  3. Scikit-learn

  4. TensorFlow


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pandas is a popular Python library for data cleaning and manipulation, providing powerful data structures and operations for working with tabular data.

What is the term for a model that learns from data without being explicitly programmed?

  1. Supervised learning

  2. Unsupervised learning

  3. Reinforcement learning

  4. Transfer learning


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Unsupervised learning is a type of machine learning where the model learns from data without being provided with labeled examples, allowing it to discover patterns and structures in the data.

Which algorithm is commonly used for clustering data points?

  1. K-Means Clustering

  3. Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN)

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

K-Means Clustering, Hierarchical Clustering, and Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) are all popular algorithms used for clustering data points based on their similarities and differences.

What is the purpose of a neural network?

  1. To learn complex relationships in data

  2. To make predictions

  3. To optimize decision-making

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Neural networks are designed to learn complex relationships in data, make predictions, and optimize decision-making, mimicking the behavior of the human brain.

Which cloud platform provides a wide range of data science services?

  1. Amazon Web Services (AWS)

  2. Microsoft Azure

  3. Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) all offer comprehensive data science services, including data storage, processing, and analysis tools.

What is the term for a model that learns from data and improves its performance over time?

  1. Supervised learning

  2. Unsupervised learning

  3. Reinforcement learning

  4. Transfer learning


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning where the model learns by interacting with its environment, receiving rewards for positive actions and penalties for negative actions, allowing it to improve its performance over time.

Which technique is used to transfer knowledge from one model to another?

  1. Supervised learning

  2. Unsupervised learning

  3. Reinforcement learning

  4. Transfer learning


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Transfer learning is a technique where a model trained on one task is used as a starting point for training a model on a different but related task, allowing the new model to learn faster and achieve better performance.

What is the purpose of a data lake?

  1. To store large amounts of raw data

  2. To process and analyze data

  3. To visualize data

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A data lake is a central repository for storing large amounts of raw data in its native format, allowing for future processing and analysis.
