Amazon MLS-C01 Exam - Topic 1 Question 72 Discussion

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)
B) Use a forecasting algorithm to run predictions. and D) Use a classification algorithm to run predictions
A) Use Amazon SageMaker Ground Truth to sort the data into two groups named 'enrolled' or 'not enrolled.'
C) Use a regression algorithm to run predictions.
E) Use the built-in Amazon SageMaker k-means algorithm to cluster the data into two groups named 'enrolled' or 'not enrolled.'

I feel like clustering with k-means might not be the best approach since we need to predict outcomes, not just group data.

I practiced a similar question where we had to classify data, and I think using Amazon SageMaker for sorting could be helpful, but I'm not sure if it's the right step.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about regression being used for continuous outcomes, so it might not be the best fit here.

I vaguely recall something about clustering methods like k-means, but I don't think it fits this scenario since we need to predict enrollment, not just group data. So, E seems off.

I'm a bit unsure about the best approach here. I feel like regression could work too, but isn't it more for continuous outcomes? Maybe option C isn't the right fit?

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?

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.
