CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS FOR UNIT 2
Identify the type of learning (supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement
learning) are the following case studies most likely based on?
a) Case Study 1: A company wants to predict customer churn based on past
purchasing behavior, demographics, and customer interactions. They have a
dataset with labeled examples of customers who churned and those who did not.
Answer: Supervised Learning
b) Case Study 2: A social media platform wants to group users based on their
interests and behavior to recommend relevant content. They have a large
dataset of user interactions but no predefined categories. Which type of learning
is this case study most likely based on?
Answer: Unsupervised Learning
c) Case Study 3: An autonomous vehicle is learning to navigate through a city
environment. It receives feedback in the form of rewards for reaching its
destination safely and penalties for traffic violations. Which type of learning is this
case study most likely based on?
Answer: Reinforcement Learning
d) Case Study 4: A healthcare provider wants to identify patterns in patient data
to personalize treatment plans. They have a dataset with various patient
attributes but no predefined labels indicating specific treatment plans. Which type
of learning is this case study most likely based on?
Answer: Unsupervised Learning
e) Case Study 5: A manufacturing company wants to optimize its production
process by detecting anomalies in sensor data from machinery. They have a
dataset with examples of normal and anomalous behavior. Which type of
learning is this case study most likely based on?
Answer: Supervised Learning
Q7. Identify the type of model (classification, regression, clustering,
association model) are the following case studies most likely based on?
CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS FOR UNIT 2
a) A bank wants to predict whether a loan applicant will “default” or “non-
default” on their loan payments. They have a dataset containing
information such as income, credit score, loan amount, and employment
status.
Answer: Classification
b) A real estate agency wants to predict the selling price of houses based
on various features such as size, location, number of bedrooms, and
bathrooms. They have a dataset containing historical sales data.
Answer: Regression
c) A marketing company wants to segment its customer base into distinct
groups based on purchasing behavior for targeted marketing campaigns.
They have a dataset containing information such as purchase history,
frequency of purchases, and amount spent.
Answer: Clustering
d) A grocery store wants to identify associations between different
products purchased by customers to understand which products are
commonly bought together. They have a transaction dataset containing
records of items purchased together during each transaction.
Answer: Association Model
Q. A healthcare provider wants to improve patient care by predicting the
length of hospital stays for different medical conditions. They have a
dataset containing patient demographics, medical history, and treatment
details. The task involves:
a) To predict whether a patient will have a short or long hospital stay.
Answer: Classification
b) To predict the number of days a patient will stay in the hospital.
Answer: Regression
CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS FOR UNIT 2
c) To segment patients into groups with similar characteristics for
personalized treatment plans.
Answer: Clustering
d) To identify patterns in patient treatments and outcomes.
Answer: Association Model
Q. What is clustering and how is it different from classification?
Answer: Classification uses predefined classes in which objects are
assigned. Clustering finds similarities between objects and places them in
the same cluster and it differentiates them from objects in other clusters.
Q. Joffery and Maxx want to make a model which will organize the
unlabeled input data into groups based on features. Which learning model
should they use and why?
Answer: Clustering model/Unsupervised learning is used to organize the
unlabeled input data into groups
based on features. Clustering is an unsupervised learning algorithm which can
cluster unknown data according to
the patterns or trends identified out of it. The patterns observed might be the
ones which are known to the developer, or it might even come up with some
unique patterns out of it.
Q. Identify and explain the types of the learning-based approaches in the
figures given below.
CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS FOR UNIT 2
Answer: The learning-based approaches shown in the given figures are
Supervised learning and Unsupervised learning.
Figure 1: In a supervised learning model, the dataset which is fed to the machine
is labelled. In other words, we can say that the dataset is known to the person
who is training the machine only then he/she is able to label the
data. A label is some information which can be used as a tag for data. Here,
labelled images of dog and cat are fed into the model and trained. The model
correctly identifies the given input as dog.
Figure 2: An unsupervised learning model works on unlabelled dataset. This
means that the data which is fed to the machine is random and there is a
possibility that the person who is training the model does not have any
information regarding it. The unsupervised learning models are used to identify
relationships, patterns and
trends out of the data which is fed into it. It helps the user in understanding what
the data is about and what are the major features identified by the machine in it.

Here, images of a set of animals are fed into the AI model and the model clusters
them based on similar features
