Question 6:- What are the two disadvantages of public cloud, compared to in-house analysis?

/

Question 8:- Sam is seeking a career as a data analyst. Which of these is a key responsibility of a data analyst?

Determine what data means and recommend ways to search the data

Specialize in collecting data from different sources, organizing it in suitable format, and making

analysis

Design, create, manage and interpret large datasets to achieve business goals

Develops codes and images to automate data reports

Question 9:- In the MapReduce framework, map and reduce functions can be run in any order. Do you agree and

Yes, because in functional programming, the order of execution is not important.

Yes, because the functions use KVP as input and output; order is not important.

No, because the output of the map function is the input for the reduce function.

No, because the output of the reduce function is the input for the function.

Question 10:- Which of the following components of Hadoop provides SQL-like access to structured data and sophisticated Big Data analysis with MapReduce?

Hive

HDFS

Hbase

MapReduce

Question 11:- Predictive models based on both historical and real-time data can help which of these businesses to identify suspected cases of fraud in early stages?

Marketing companies

Medical claims companies

Construction companies

CRM based manufacturing companies

Question 12:- Why are Big Data applications susceptible to latency?

The volume of Big Data is too large to be analyzed rapidly.

Big Data may reside in a different location from the application.

Big Data cannot use in-memory computing.

Big Data applications are still in early stages of development.

Question 13:- ABC is a retailer organization that conducts its business through e-commerce. The organization offers customized online shopping experience to their customers with an attractive and responsive Web page user interface. Now the company wants to collect the data about customers’ activities on the Internet. What can be the best source for such data?

Transactional database

Social media

Weblogs of customers

All of the above

Question 14:- Which of the following is a RFID reader action?

Text mining

Credit notes management

Insurance fraud detection Inventory management

Question 15:- What could be the biggest challenge, for the production or operations unit of an organization?

Determining the data to be used for making business decisions

Determining the best Big Data technology to be used

Securing Big Data initiatives from unauthorized access

Determining the best way to present Big Data findings to enable decision-making

Question 16:- Which of the following options was one of the factors driving the creation of MapReduce?

Increasing processing power of new hardware

Business need for complex analysis of structured data

Increasing number of Web users

Spread of distributed computing

Question 17:- In designing the MapReduce framework, which of the following needs did the engineers consider?

It should be cheap and distributed free of cost.

Processing should expand and contract automatically.

Processing should be stopped in the case of network failure.

Developers should be able to create new languages.

Question 18:- Which of the following describes the map function?

It processes data to create a list of key-value pairs.

It indexes the data to list all the words occurring in it.

It converts a relational database to key-value pairs.

It tracks data across multiple tables and clusters in Hadoop.

Question 19:- Which of the following describes the reduce function?

It analyzes the map function results to show the most frequently occurring values.

It combines the map function results to return a list of the best matches for the query.

It adds the results of the map function to convert the KVP lists to columnar databases.

It processes map function results and creates a new KVP list to answer the query.

Question 20:- How does MapReduce achieve co-location?

a) The scheduler sends the code to the machine where the relevant data resides.

b) The process scheduler distributes data of the same type to machines in the same cluster.

c) The master JobTracker sends map and reduce functions to the same machines or nodes in acluster.

d) The slave TaskTrackers copy related data and code to adjacent clusters in case of processingfailure.
