Actual exam question for Databricks's Databricks Certified Professional Data Scientist exam
Question #: 57
Topic #: 2
[All Databricks Certified Professional Data Scientist Questions]

You have modeled the datasets with 5 independent variables called A,B,C,D and E having relationships which is not dependent each other, and also the variable A,B and C are continuous and variable D and E are discrete (mixed mode).

Now you have to compute the expected value of the variable let say A, then which of the following computation you will prefer

Generalization seems off for this question; I believe integration is the right choice for calculating expected values, especially with continuous data.

I’m a bit confused about whether differentiation could apply here. I thought it was more about rates of change, not expected values.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to find expected values, and integration was definitely the method used for continuous variables like A.

I think we might need to use integration to compute the expected value of A since it's a continuous variable, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm leaning towards generalization here. The question doesn't provide much detail on the specific relationships between the variables, so a more general approach like generalization might be better suited to handle the complexity of the data structure. That way, we can make fewer assumptions and still compute the expected value of A.

Based on the information provided, I would go with transformation. Since the variables A, B, and C are continuous, we can likely transform them to a standard normal distribution and then compute the expected value of A using that. The discrete variables D and E might require a different approach, but transformation seems like the most appropriate option for the continuous part.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. The question mentions mixed mode data with both continuous and discrete variables. I'm not sure if integration is the right approach for that case. Maybe we need to consider a different computation method that can handle the mixed data structure.

I think integration would be the best approach here since we need to compute the expected value of the continuous variable A. The question mentions the variables have relationships, so we'll need to integrate over the joint distribution to find the expected value.

This is a tricky one. I'll need to think through the characteristics of relational databases to determine which of these options doesn't fit.

Okay, I've got this. A System DSN is a data source that's not tied to a specific user account. It's a shared resource that anyone with the right access can use. I'm pretty confident that option A is the correct answer here.

The instructions give a few different ways to unhide the worksheet, so I'll try to remember the key steps like using Ctrl+Shift to select all the tabs.

I'm not sure what's more surprising - the fact that differentiation is an option, or the fact that someone might actually choose it. Integration all the way!

Integration is the way to go here. Since the variable A is continuous, we need to compute the expected value by integrating the probability density function.
