Answer: A Capstone Project is a final project where students apply their AI learning to real-world problems. It integrates their knowledge of AI concepts such as model building and data storytelling, helping them demonstrate their skills.
Q. 12.
Answer: No, MSE (Mean Squared Error) cannot be negative. It represents the average of the squared differences between actual and predicted values, and since it squares the errors, the result is always positive or zero.

Answer any 3 out of the given 5 questions (4 x 3 = 12 marks)
Q. 17.
Answer:
Data storytelling combines data, visuals, and narratives to drive change. By presenting data in a story format, it engages the audience emotionally and intellectually. For example, a company showing how customer satisfaction improved after a product change can use a narrative alongside visual graphs. The diagram below shows how storytelling connects data and action:
[Data] → [Visuals] → [Narrative] → [Engagement] → [Change]
Q. 19.
Answer:
During the testing phase of AI models, data scientists must consider:
Q. 20.
Answer:
Cross-validation is a technique where the dataset is split into several subsets, and the model is trained and tested on different folds to ensure it generalizes well. It is better than a simple train-test split when the dataset is small or when model tuning is crucial, as cross-validation reduces the bias introduced by a single random split.
Q. 21.
Answer:
(a) Steps for creating an effective data story:
(b) Conflict is a key element of storytelling, and it plays an important role in data storytelling as well. Conflict creates tension and curiosity, which naturally engages the audience and keeps them invested in the story. In data storytelling, conflict often arises from a problem or challenge that needs to be addressed, such as declining student performance or ineffective business strategies. By presenting conflict, the storyteller sets the stage for a resolution, making the data more compelling and relatable. For example, a data story about a company’s declining sales might present the conflict as a failure to adapt to market trends. The narrative would then focus on how data-driven decisions helped the company overcome the challenge, leading to increased sales. This kind of story not only engages the audience but also demonstrates the power of data in solving real-world problems.
