1Which foundational subfield of artificial intelligence relies primarily on predefined symbolic rules and logical inference engines to solve domain-specific problems?
A.Deep reinforcement learning
B.Expert systems
C.Unsupervised clustering
D.Connectionist neural networks
Explanation: Expert systems represent a classical symbolic AI approach that utilizes explicit 'if-then' rule bases and inference engines to emulate human decision-making. Unlike connectionist methods, expert systems rely on human-curated domain knowledge rather than statistical pattern learning from raw data.
2What is the primary difference between Strong AI (Artificial General Intelligence) and Weak AI (Narrow AI)?
A.Weak AI operates exclusively on hardware, while Strong AI operates exclusively in cloud environments.
B.Weak AI is designed for specific tasks without consciousness, while Strong AI possesses generalized human-level cognitive capabilities.
C.Weak AI utilizes neural networks, whereas Strong AI relies solely on linear regression models.
D.Weak AI requires continuous manual coding, while Strong AI requires no algorithms.
Explanation: Narrow (Weak) AI focuses on performing specific, bounded tasks (such as spam detection or chess playing) without general reasoning or awareness. General (Strong) AI refers to hypothetical systems possessing broad cognitive abilities comparable to human intelligence across arbitrary domains.
3In state-space search algorithms used in traditional AI planning, what does a 'heuristic function' h(n) estimate?
A.The exact computational execution time in milliseconds required to reach the goal state
B.The estimated cost or distance from node n to the nearest goal state
C.The exact memory footprint allocated by the search algorithm at node n
D.The total path cost incurred from the start node to node n
Explanation: A heuristic function h(n) estimates the remaining cost or distance from a given node n to the target goal state. In algorithms like A* search, combining the actual path cost g(n) with the heuristic estimate h(n) yields the total estimated evaluation cost f(n) = g(n) + h(n).
4Which search strategy guarantees finding an optimal path to a goal state when all step costs are equal?
A.Breadth-First Search (BFS)
B.Depth-First Search (DFS)
C.Greedy Best-First Search
D.Random Walk Search
Explanation: Breadth-First Search (BFS) explores nodes level-by-level in expanding shallow contours. When all edge step costs are equal, BFS is guaranteed to discover the shortest and most optimal path to the goal state.
5What role does an 'Intelligent Agent' play within the standard AI agent-environment framework?
A.It passively records environment logs without selecting actions
B.It perceives environment states through sensors and acts upon the environment using actuators
C.It modifies operating system hardware components dynamically
D.It executes SQL database drop commands during runtime errors
Explanation: In standard AI agent architecture, an intelligent agent perceives its external environment through sensors (inputs) and takes rational actions upon that environment via actuators (outputs) to maximize its performance measure.
6Which data preprocessing technique scales numerical feature values so that they have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1?
A.Min-Max Normalization
B.Z-score Standardization
C.One-Hot Encoding
D.Label Binarization
Explanation: Z-score Standardization (StandardScaler) transforms numerical feature distributions by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation, producing a rescaled feature centered at zero mean with unit variance (std = 1).
7When handling missing values in tabular datasets, what is 'Mean Imputation'?
A.Removing all rows containing missing attribute values
B.Replacing missing feature values with the average value of that feature across observed instances
C.Predicting missing values using a deep neural network
D.Setting all missing values to negative infinity
Explanation: Mean Imputation is a baseline data imputation technique where missing values in a numerical column are substituted with the sample mean calculated from non-missing entries in that same column.
8Which visualization plot is most effective for identifying outliers and understanding the 5-number summary (minimum, Q1, median, Q3, maximum) of a numerical variable?
A.Scatter plot
B.Box plot (Box-and-Whisker)
C.Pie chart
D.Line graph
Explanation: A Box plot visually summarizes dataset distributions via the 5-number summary (Minimum, 25th percentile Q1, Median Q2, 75th percentile Q3, Maximum) and highlights individual statistical outliers lying outside 1.5 * IQR bounds.
9What is the primary purpose of One-Hot Encoding in machine learning data pipelines?
A.Compressing high-resolution images into low-dimensional vectors
B.Converting nominal categorical attributes into binary indicator columns without implying false ordinal relationships
C.Normalizing continuous features to a 0 to 1 range
D.Splitting training data into k equal folds
Explanation: One-Hot Encoding converts nominal categorical values (such as 'Red', 'Green', 'Blue') into individual binary (0/1) vector columns. This prevents mathematical models from interpreting arbitrary integer mappings as false ordinal rankings.
10In exploratory data analysis (EDA), what does a Pearson correlation coefficient of -0.92 between two numerical variables indicate?
A.No linear relationship exists between the two variables
B.A strong inverse linear relationship exists where one variable increases as the other decreases
C.A strong positive linear relationship exists where both variables increase together
D.The dataset contains 92% missing data values
Explanation: Pearson correlation ranges from -1.0 to +1.0. A value of -0.92 indicates a very strong negative (inverse) linear relationship, meaning higher values in one variable systematically correspond to lower values in the second variable.
