BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE EXAM SCRIPT 2025/2026
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS RATED A+
✔✔For many intelligent systems to work, it is necessary for them to have knowledge.
The process of acquiring this knowledge is referred to as: - ✔✔knowledge acquisition.
✔✔Which of the following is not listed in Gartner's 2016 and 2017 Hype Cycles for
Emerging Technologies? - ✔✔CRM systems
✔✔The ________ is a people-made machine that is desired to be as intelligent,
creative, and self-aware as humans. - ✔✔artificial brain
✔✔AI can drive some types of decisions many times ________ and more consistently
than humans can. - ✔✔faster
✔✔________ can be considered to be an umbrella term and is usually measured by an
IQ test. - ✔✔Intelligence
✔✔At this time, AI systems do not have the same learning capabilities that humans
have; rather, they have simplistic ________. - ✔✔machine-learning
✔✔List and discuss two new emerging AI technologies addressed in the chapter. -
✔✔The Roomba vacuum cleaner-- can explore various areas of the home and through
the help of AI, will determine the nature of an encountered obstacle in order to
maneuver it and continue cleaning. This provides ease of mind and convenience to
customers since they do not need to monitor the vacuum's movements/course.
Within the business-- AI can be used to automate financial transactions by identifying
incomplete transactions that may require special attention. The machine-learning can
learn to detect such transactions in order to quickly mend the situation automatically.
This yields both time and cost savings for the company.
✔✔Information is the aggregation, summarization, and contextualization of data. -
✔✔True
✔✔Dashboards are not a new concept and their roots can be traced at least to the
executive information system of the 1980s. - ✔✔True
✔✔Data visualization is closely related to the fields of DW management and MIS
application development. - ✔✔False
✔✔Some charts or graphs are better at answering certain types of questions. - ✔✔True
, ✔✔Numeric data is an example of structured data. - ✔✔True
✔✔This assumption in a regression analysis states that the relationship between the
response variable and the explanatory variables is linear. - ✔✔linearity
✔✔This assumption in a regression analysis states that the explanatory variables are
not correlated. - ✔✔multicollinearity
✔✔These contain codes assigned to objects or events as labels that also represent the
rank order among them. - ✔✔ordinal data
✔✔This type of report may include color-coded traffic lights for different performance
levels. - ✔✔dashboard report
✔✔These contain measurements of simple codes assigned to objects as labels, which
are not measurements. - ✔✔nominal data
✔✔________ are typically enterprise-wide agreed upon targets to be tracked against
over a period of time. - ✔✔Key performance indicators
✔✔________ has also single-handedly democratized both the interface conventions
and the technology for displaying interactive geography online - ✔✔Google Maps
✔✔In data reduction, reducing the number of variables is referred to as ________
reduction. - ✔✔dimensional
✔✔Key to any successful report are ________, brevity, completeness, and correctness.
- ✔✔clarity
✔✔Describe the three main types of business reports. - ✔✔1. Metric management
reports: business performance is measured through outcome-oriented. For these
reports, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are used for internal management
2. Dashboard-type reports: presents a range of different performance indicators in one
report. Similar to a dashboard of a car. Uses predefined reports but allows for
customization. Frequently uses color coordination in these reports to indicate
performance level
3. Balanced scorecard-type reports: presents integrated view of success within an
organization. Reports on financial performance, customers, business process, and
learning/growth perspectives
✔✔In data mining, classification models help in prediction. - ✔✔True
