Amazon Exam MLS-C01 Topic 1 Question 72 Discussion

Actual exam question for Amazon's MLS-C01 exam

Question #: 72
Topic #: 1

A university wants to develop a targeted recruitment strategy to increase new student enrollment. A data scientist gathers information about the academic performance history of students. The data scientist wants to use the data to build student profiles. The university will use the profiles to direct resources to recruit students who are likely to enroll in the university.

Which combination of steps should the data scientist take to predict whether a particular student applicant is likely to enroll in the university? (Select TWO)

AUse Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth to sort the data into two groups named 'enrolled' or 'not enrolled.'

BUse a forecasting algorithm to run predictions.

CUse a regression algorithm to run predictions.

DUse a classification algorithm to run predictions

EUse the built-in Amazon SageMaker k-means algorithm to cluster the data into two groups named 'enrolled' or 'not enrolled.'

I don't know, guys. Using a forecasting algorithm to predict enrollment seems a bit overkill. Why not just use a good old-fashioned classification algorithm and call it a day?

Haha, I can just imagine the data scientist using Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth to manually label each student as 'enrolled' or 'not enrolled'. Talk about a labor-intensive approach!

I'm not so sure about that. Shouldn't we be using something like k-means clustering to group the students first before running any predictions? That could give us better insights into the key characteristics of the 'enrolled' and 'not enrolled' groups.

B: Yeah, that makes sense. We can then use a classification algorithm to predict whether a particular student is likely to enroll based on those key characteristics.

A: I think you're right. Using k-means clustering could help us identify important characteristics of the 'enrolled' and 'not enrolled' groups.

I think options C and D are the way to go. Using a regression algorithm to predict enrollment probability and a classification algorithm to directly classify students as 'enrolled' or 'not enrolled' seems like the most logical approach.
