Machine Learning Quiz

In feature scaling, what is the purpose of normalization?

• To convert data into a standard normal distribution

• To make all features have the same scale

• To remove outliers from the data

• To reduce the dimensionality of the data

What is Machine Learning?

• A computer program that learns from data

• A set of rules and instructions for a computer

• A type of computer hardware

• A way to store and retrieve information

What is the primary goal of data cleaning in the context of machine learning?

• To remove outliers from the dataset

• To make the dataset more complex

• To convert categorical variables into numerical ones

• To ensure data quality and accuracy

In Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), what does a histogram visualize?

What is the purpose of handling missing data in a dataset?

• To remove the entire row with missing data

• To replace missing values with the mean or median of the variable

• To ignore missing data during model training

• To create synthetic data for missing values
