b Differentiate between structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data with
suitable examples. 04
c Describe any four conventional methods of data visualization and their
04
appropriate use cases.
Illustrate the concepts of hunting, scraping, and logging in data collection. How
3 a
do these methods differ in terms of their approach and applications? 10

9 a Write the complete Taxonomy of Models. Differentiate between deterministic
08
and stochastic models with examples from real-world data science applications
Indian Airlines has developed a classifier for the prediction whether a flight
originating from Delhi will arrive at its destination on time or not. True or
Positive here is ‘On time’ and it refers to the case when the flight is no more than
5 minutes late than the scheduled time. The classifiers were tested on a data-set
of 500 flights, and the results are as follows:
b 08
Determine the Evaluation Statistic measures Accuracy, Precision, Recall and
F-Score.
OR
10 a Illustrate how Baseline models for Classification differ from those used in Value
Prediction, providing suitable scenarios for each. 08
A model predicts a numeric variable with actual values [100, 200, 300] and
b predicted values [110, 190, 310]. Calculate the Mean Squared Error (MSE) and
Root Mean Squared Error (RMSD) 04
c. If a classifier has an ROC curve with an AUC of 0.95. Interpret this result and
its significance. 04
