, T or F: During data transformation, depending on the context and purpose of
preprocessing the data can be rescaled to a fixed range, and numeric variables can
be converted to categorical variables - Answer- True
T or F: Data reduction can be applied to rows (observations) and/or columns
(variables) in a given dataset - Answer- True

Which of the below statement(s) is/are correct?
A: An important data transformation subtask is to select the relevant data using
domain expert input, i.e., decide which sources and data to collect.
B: When merging two data source tables A and B, using the full outer join method
eliminates all rows from the resulting table that do not have corresponding rows in
both source tables A and B.
C: For numerical variables, normalizing the observed values between two values,
such as 0 and 1, allows to rescale the values and compare variables with different
means and/or standard deviations on a single scale.
D: Identifying and reducing noise in the data is a subtask of data reduction. -
Answer- C
When analyzing the original data of household income of a selected population,
analysts notice that 5% of observations are missing and entered in the dataset as
N/A (not available). Further, they notice that there are a few extremely low household
income values. Which of the following method(s) would be well-suited to prepare the
data before conducting descriptive analysis, such as calculating descriptive statistics
and creating histogram of household income?
A: Use the original dataset to avoid introducing additional noise to data prior to
analysis
B: Identify the outliers in data with statistical techniques and remove the extremely
low income values
