Q. 11 A capstone project is a project where students must CBSE Study 1 3 2
research a topic independently to find a deep Material
understanding of the subject matter. It gives an
opportunity for the student to integrate all their
knowledge and demonstrate it through a
comprehensive project.
Q. 12 The MSE value cannot be negative. The difference CBSE Study 1 28 2
between projected and actual values are always Material
squared. As a result, all outcomes are either
positive or negative.
Q. 13 Stories are more likely to drive action than are CBSE Study 3 35 2
statistics and numbers. Therefore, when told in the Material
form of a narrative, it reduces ambiguity, connects
data with context, and describes a specific
interpretation – communicating the important
messages in most effective ways.
Q. 14 To decompose this task, you would need to know the CBSE Study 1 6 2
answer to a series of smaller problems: Material
• what kind of app you want to create?
• what will your app will look like?
• who is the target audience for your app?
• what will the graphics will look like?
• what audio will you include?
Q. 15 A training set is a set of historical data in which the CBSE Study 1 14 2
outcomes are already known. Train Dataset: Used to fit Material
the machine learning model.
Test Dataset: Used to evaluate the fit machine
learningmodel.
Q. 16 The Design phase is essentially an iterative process CBSE Study 2 33 2
comprising all the steps relevant to building the AI or Material
machine learning model: data acquisition, exploration,
preparation, cleaning, feature engineering, testing and
running a set of models to try to predict behaviors or
discover insights in the data.

Q. 17 Data storytelling is a structured approach for CBSE Study 3 37 4
communicating insights drawn from data, and Material
invariably involves a combination of three key
elements: data, visuals, and narrative. When the
narrative is accompanied with data, it helps to
explain the audience what’s happening in the data
and why a particular insight has been generated.
When visuals are applied to data, they can enlighten
the audience to the insights that they wouldn’t
perceive without the charts or graphs.

Finally, when narrative and visuals are merged

together, they can engage or even entertain an
audience. When you combine the right visuals and
narrative with the right data, you have a data story
that can influence and drive change.

Q. 19 Considerations: CBSE Study 2 34 4
• The volume of test data can be large, which Material
presents complexities.
• Human biases in selecting test data can adversely
impact the testing phase, therefore, data
validation is important.
• Your testing team should test the AI and ML
algorithms keeping model validation, successful
learnability, and algorithm effectiveness in mind.
Regulatory compliance testing and security testing are
important since the system might dealwith sensitive
data, moreover, the large volume of data makes
performance testing crucial.

Q. 20 In cross-validation, we run our modeling process on CBSE Study 1 20 4
different subsets of the data to get multiple measures Material
of model quality.
In k-fold cross-validation, the original dataset is equally
divided into k subparts or folds. Out of the k-folds, for
each iteration, one group is selected as test data, and
the remaining (k-1) groups are selected as training
data. This process is repeated for k times. The final
accuracy of the model is calculated by taking the mean
accuracy.

When the dataset is smaller, cross-validation procedure

should be selected for higher accuracy.

Q. 21 (a) The steps involved in telling an effective datastory CBSE Study 3 35 4

are given below: Material
• Understanding the audience
• Choosing the right data and visualisations
• Drawing attention to key information
• Developing a narrative
• Engaging your audience

(b) Option A is a better data story.

Reasons
1. The insight given at the bottom of the visual is
giving a clear idea about context which is not therein
Option B.
Option A visual provides a compelling narrative.
