Question 23

VanArsdel Media has completed discovery for a analytics modernization. Before implementation, the risk manager must decide how to compare metrics across relevant demographic or operational segments rather than using only one aggregate score. Which choice best satisfies that requirement? The workload has passed basic feasibility checks, so the remaining question is which approach best matches the requirement. The pilot uses 705 representative records from 3 approved data sources.

1. Production feedback monitoring
2. Application-specific test set

Question 25

A proof of concept at Alpine Ski House exposed a design decision for the risk manager: the solution must avoid severe class or subgroup imbalance when it would distort learning or evaluation. Which option most directly solves that problem? Operational ownership is already assigned, so the team is comparing technical fit rather than staffing models. The service has a 779-millisecond internal response target for the affected workflow.

1. Data curation
2. Balanced dataset
3. Sufficient data volume
4. Correct labeling
5. Data governance

Correct answer: B

Why: Balance can improve fairness and make performance metrics more representative. It directly addresses the requirement in this scenario.

Option review:

B: Balance can improve fairness and make performance metrics more representative. It directly addresses the requirement in this scenario.

C: Training-set size should be adequate for the adaptation method and task complexity. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

E: Governance requirements apply to training data as well as production inputs. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

Learning point: Balanced dataset – Balance can improve fairness and make performance metrics more representative.

Question 26

Humongous Insurance is documenting the target state for a customer-support modernization. The security architect needs a solution that can recognize materially different error rates or outcomes for subgroups that require investigation. Which option is the strongest fit? Existing application interfaces can accommodate any of the listed choices, so functional fit is the deciding factor. The team is comparing 2 candidate designs after a 816-day proof of concept.

1. Neural network
2. Natural language processing (NLP)
