FULLTIME/ PART-TIME/DISTANCE LEARNING
ORDINARY EXAMINATION
DATE: AUGUST, 2024 TIME: 2 HOURS

INSTRUCTIONS: Question One Is Compulsory, Choose Two Other Questions

QUESTION ONE (20 marks) Compulsory


a) Compare and contrast traditional Decision Support Systems (DSS) functionalities with AI-
enhanced DSS. Highlight how AI technologies transform decision support capabilities.
[4 marks]
b) Discuss the implications of deploying machine learning models within DSS for predictive
analytics. Identify two potential risks and how they can be mitigated. [4 marks]
c) Explain three ways Natural Language Processing (NLP) can enhance decision-making
through improved data interpretation and user interaction. [3 marks]
d) Describe the process of integrating AI into existing Decision Support Systems, including
evaluating system performance and user feedback. [4 marks]
e) Describe the knowledge management cycle within the context of a Decision Support System
and its impact on decision quality. [5 marks]

QUESTION TW0 [15 marks]


a) Outline the role of Decision Support Systems (DSS) in enhancing organizational decision-
making across various levels (operational, tactical, and strategic). [6 marks]
b) Identify two key challenges organizations face when integrating Big Data analytics into their
DSS and suggest measures to address them. [6 marks]
c) Explain how DSS can leverage data visualization tools to aid in complex decision-making
scenarios. Provide three examples of visualization techniques and their benefits. [3 marks]
QUESTION THREE [15 marks]
a) Decision tree induction is one of the machine learning techniques. Explain what decision tree
induction means and how it is used for classification problems. (There is no need to explain
the actual induction process.) [5 marks]
b) Given the sample dataset below, construct a simple decision tree model to predict the target
variable 'Y'. Use entropy to determine the best attribute to split at the root node. [5 marks]

c) Discuss the steps involved in pruning a decision tree. Why is pruning important in preventing
overfitting in the model? [5 marks]

QUESTION FOUR [15 marks]


a) Define linear regression and explain its importance in predictive modelling. Discuss the
assumptions underlying linear regression models. [6 marks]
b) Given the sample dataset below, calculate the coefficients aaa and bbb in the linear regression
equation y=ax+b using the least squares method. Sample data: x=[1,2,3,4,5], y=[2,3,5,7,11].
[4 marks]
c) Describe the process of developing a linear regression model from data collection to model
evaluation. Include steps such as data preprocessing, model training, and validation.
[5 marks]
