Introduction to Big Data Coursera Week 1 Quiz Answers!

V for the V's of Big Data

Q1) Amazon has been collecting review data for a particular product. They have realized that almost 90% of the reviews were mostly a 5/5 rating. However, of the 90%, they realized that 50% of them were customers who did not have proof of purchase or customers who did not post serious reviews about the product. Of the following, which is true about the review data collected in this situation?
  • High Veracity
  • High Volume
  • Low Veracity
  • High Valence
  • Low Valence
  • Low Volume

Q2) As mentioned in the slides, what are the challenges to data with a high valence?
  • Reliability of Data
  • Difficult to Integrate
  • Complex Data Exploration Algorithms

Q3) Which of the following are the 6 V's in big data?
  • Variety
  • Volume
  • Valence
  • Value
  • Veracity
  • Velocity
  • Vision

Q4) What is the veracity of big data?
  • The size of the data.
  • The connectedness of data.
  • The speed at which data is produced.
  • The abnormality or uncertainties of data.

Q5) What are the challenges of data with high variety?
  • Hard to integrate.
  • The quality of data is low.
  • Hard in utilizing group event detection.
  • Hard to perform emergent behavior analysis.

Q6) Which of the following is the best way to describe why it is crucial to process data in real-time?
  • More accurate.
  • Prevents missed opportunities.
  • More expensive to batch process.
  • Batch processing is an older method that is not as accurate as real-time processing.

Q7) What are the challenges with big data that has high volume?
  • Effectiveness and Cost
