question 15 of 25
which statement best describes a data scientist?

a. a data scientist creates custom programs for online subscription
services.

b. a data scientist develops all hypotheses used in computer
science experiments.

c. a data scientist uses scientific and statistical methods to analyze
and interpret large, complex digital data sets.

d. a data scientist observes users interactions with appliances and
designs microchips based on the observed behavior.

Explanation:

• Option A: Creating custom programs for online subscription services is more related to software development, not data science.
• Option B: Developing all hypotheses in computer science experiments is not the main role of a data scientist; data scientists analyze data rather than solely develop hypotheses.
• Option C: Data scientists use scientific (including statistical) methods to analyze and interpret large, complex data sets, which matches the core role of a data scientist.
• Option D: Observing user interactions with appliances and designing microchips is related to fields like human - computer interaction or electrical engineering, not data science.

Answer:

C. A data scientist uses scientific and statistical methods to analyze and interpret large, complex digital data sets.
