AI-900 Question 93
Single answerA retail company wants to predict whether a customer will make a purchase based on their browsing behavior. Which type of machine learning scenario does this represent?
- A
Classification
- B
Regression
- C
Clustering
- D
Reinforcement Learning
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
This scenario involves predicting a discrete outcome (whether a customer makes a purchase or not), which is a classic example of a classification problem in machine learning. The other options, such as regression, clustering, and reinforcement learning, do not align with the nature of this task.
- A. Correct.
Correct. Classification is used when the goal is to predict a discrete label or category, such as 'purchase' or 'no purchase' in this scenario.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Regression is used when the goal is to predict a continuous numerical value, such as predicting sales revenue, which is not applicable here.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique used to group similar data points without predefined labels, which does not apply in this case.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Reinforcement Learning is used for decision-making in environments where agents learn through trial and error, which is not the problem described here.
