Explanation / Answer

1.

Option a correct.

(GENDER = Male AND NBR_OF_CHILDREN = 0 AND AGE < 30) OR (GENDER = Female AND AGE < 25)

It indicates two cases.

Case1: All must be satified given below

Case2: All must be satified given below

Any of two cases must be true

1.2

Option a correct.

140 is support for node 9.

Since it support both

0:140

1:160

1.3

Option c correct.

confidence for node 9 = support / total value

support = 140

total = 140+160 = 300

confidence for node 9 = 140 / 300

= 0.466666666666

= 0.47
