Q2]
a) Explain Probability in detail
Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with the likelihood of different outcomes. It
quantifies uncertainty and is fundamental to statistics, helping to predict future events based
on known information.
Key Concepts:
• Experiment: An action or process that leads to one or more outcomes (e.g., rolling a
die).
• Sample Space (S): The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment (e.g., for a die, S
= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}).
• Event (E): A specific outcome or a set of outcomes (e.g., rolling an even number: E =
{2, 4, 6}).
• Probability of an Event (P(E)): The measure of the likelihood that an event will occur,
calculated as:
P(E)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomesP(E) =
\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible
outcomes}}P(E)=Total number of possible outcomesNumber of favorable outcomes
Types of Probability:
1. Theoretical Probability: Based on the reasoning behind probability (e.g., flipping a fair
coin).
2. Empirical Probability: Based on observations or experiments (e.g., how often an event
occurs in real life).
3. Subjective Probability: Based on personal judgment or experience rather than exact
calculations.

b) Explain The Types of Analytics

Analytics can be broadly categorized into four main types:
1. Descriptive Analytics: Focuses on summarizing historical data to identify patterns
and trends. It answers the question, "What happened?" Techniques include data
aggregation and mining.
2. Diagnostic Analytics: Explores data to understand why something happened. It
answers questions like, "Why did it happen?" This often involves statistical analysis
and data visualization.
 3. Predictive Analytics: Uses historical data and statistical algorithms to forecast future
outcomes. It answers "What is likely to happen?" Common techniques include
regression analysis and machine learning models.
4. Prescriptive Analytics: Recommends actions based on data analysis. It answers
"What should be done?" This often uses optimization and simulation techniques to
suggest the best course of action.

c) Explain Correlation with its types

Correlation measures the relationship between two or more variables, indicating how one
variable may change in relation to another.
Types of Correlation:
1. Positive Correlation: As one variable increases, the other variable also tends to
increase (e.g., height and weight).
2. Negative Correlation: As one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease
(e.g., the number of hours studied and the number of mistakes made).
3. No Correlation: No apparent relationship between the variables (e.g., shoe size and
intelligence).
Correlation Coefficient: This is a numerical value (ranging from -1 to 1) that quantifies the
strength and direction of a relationship:
• 1: Perfect positive correlation
• -1: Perfect negative correlation
• 0: No correlation

d) Explain the Application of Big Data

algorithm learns to predict outcomes based on the input data (e.g., regression,
classification).
2. Unsupervised Learning: The model is trained on unlabeled data and tries to find
patterns or groupings (e.g., clustering, dimensionality reduction).
3. Reinforcement Learning: The model learns by interacting with its environment and
receiving feedback in the form of rewards or penalties (e.g., training robots or playing
games).

• Predictive Analytics: Forecasting sales or customer behavior.

Q3]
a) How Naive Bayes Algorithm works
Naive Bayes is a probabilistic classifier based on Bayes' theorem, which assumes
independence between features. It is particularly effective for large datasets and text
classification.
How it works:
1. Bayes’ Theorem: It calculates the probability of a class based on prior knowledge of
conditions related to the data.

P(C∣X)=P(X∣C)⋅P(C)P(X)P(C|X) = \frac{P(X|C) \cdot P(C)}{P(X)}P(C∣X)=P(X)P(X∣C)⋅P(C)

where:

o P(C∣X)P(C|X)P(C∣X) is the posterior probability of class CCC given feature XXX.

o P(X∣C)P(X|C)P(X∣C) is the likelihood of feature XXX given class CCC.
o P(C)P(C)P(C) is the prior probability of class CCC.
o P(X)P(X)P(X) is the evidence.
2. Independence Assumption: It assumes that the presence of a particular feature in a
class is unrelated to the presence of any other feature.
 3. Classification: The algorithm computes the posterior probabilities for all classes and
assigns the class with the highest probability.
b) Explain Decision Tree with example
A decision tree is a flowchart-like structure where each internal node represents a test on a
feature, each branch represents the outcome of the test, and each leaf node represents a
class label.
Example: Consider a dataset for predicting whether someone will play outside based on
weather conditions. The features could be "Outlook" (Sunny, Overcast, Rain), "Temperature"
(Hot, Mild, Cool), and "Humidity" (High, Normal).
• Root Node: "Outlook"
o Sunny → Check "Humidity"
▪ High → No
▪ Normal → Yes
o Overcast → Yes
o Rain → Check "Temperature"
▪ Hot → No
▪ Mild → Yes
▪ Cool → Yes
The tree is used to make predictions by traversing from the root to a leaf node based on feature
values.

c) Explain Support Vector Machine (SVM) with example

SVM is a supervised learning algorithm used for classification and regression. It works by
finding the optimal hyperplane that separates data points of different classes in a high-
dimensional space.
Example: Imagine a dataset with two features, and two classes: Class A (blue) and Class B
(red). The SVM algorithm will find a hyperplane that maximizes the margin between the
closest points (support vectors) of each class.
• If the data is linearly separable, SVM will create a linear hyperplane.
• If not, SVM can use kernel tricks (like polynomial or radial basis function kernels) to
transform the data into a higher dimension where it becomes separable.

d) Explain Digital Data with its types

Digital data refers to information represented in binary format (0s and 1s) that can be
processed by computers.
Types of Digital Data:
1. Structured Data: Highly organized, easily searchable data (e.g., databases,
spreadsheets).
2. Unstructured Data: Data that lacks a predefined structure (e.g., text files, images,
videos).
3. Semi-structured Data: Contains elements of both structured and unstructured data
(e.g., XML, JSON).
e) Explain Association Rule Mining
Association rule mining is a technique used to discover interesting relationships between
variables in large datasets. It's commonly used in market basket analysis to find sets of
products that frequently co-occur in transactions.
Key Concepts:
• Support: The frequency of the itemset appearing in the dataset.
• Confidence: The likelihood that a rule holds true for a given itemset.
• Lift: Measures how much more likely the itemset is to occur together compared to
random chance.
Example: If 100 transactions include bread and 80 transactions include butter, and 60
transactions include both, an association rule could be:
• If a customer buys bread, they are likely to buy butter.
o Support = 60100=0.6\frac{60}{100} = 0.610060=0.6
o Confidence = 6080=0.75\frac{60}{80} = 0.758060=0.75
This means there is a 75% chance that customers who buy bread will also buy butter.

4. Histogram: Represents the distribution of numerical data by dividing it into bins and
showing the frequency of data points in each bin.
5. Box Plot: Summarizes data distributions through their quartiles, highlighting the
median, range, and potential outliers.

include:
for Loop: Iterates over a sequence or vector. Example:
for (i in 1:5) {
print(i)
}

while Loop: Continues to execute as long as a specified condition is true. Example:

count <- 1
while (count <= 5) {
print(count)
count <- count + 1
}
repeat Loop: Repeats indefinitely until a break statement is encountered. Example:
repeat {
print("Hello")
break}
