It is mostly used when the data sets, like the data set recorded as the outcome from flipping a coin 100 times, would follow a normal distribution and may have unknown variances. A t-test is used as a hypothesis testing tool to test an assumption applicable to a population. *Correlation, in the finance and investment industries, is a statistic that measures the degree to which two securities move in relation to each other. Correlations are used in advanced portfolio management, computed as the correlation coefficient, which has a value that must fall between -1.0 and +1.0. *A chi-square test is a statistical test used to compare observed results with expected results. The purpose of this test is to determine if a difference between observed data and expected data is due to chance, or if it is due to a relationship between the variables you are studying.

The second table, Sales, contains individual sales records associated with the employee who made the sale. Which of the following database types will Maria implement? A.) Relational -------------------------------------------------------------- *A relational database, also called Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) or SQL database, stores data in tables and rows also referred to as records. A relational database works by linking information from multiple tables through the use of "keys." *The non-relational database, or NoSQL database, stores data. However, unlike the relational database, there are no tables, rows, primary keys, or foreign keys. Instead, the non-relational database uses a storage model optimized for specific requirements of the type of data being stored. *Snowflake Schema in the data warehouse is a logical arrangement of tables in a multidimensional database such that the ER diagram resembles a snowflake shape. A Snowflake Schema is an extension of a Star Schema, and it adds additional dimensions. *Star schema in the data warehouse, in which the center of the star can have one fact table and a number of associated dimension tables. It is known as star schema as its structure resembles a star. The Star Schema data model is the simplest type of Data Warehouse schema.

Which of the following data integration processes combines data from multiple data sources into a single, consistent data store that is loaded into a data warehouse? A.) Application Programming Interface (API) B.) Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) C.) Extract, Load, Transform (ELT) D.) Delta Load

Which of the following data integration processes combines data from multiple data sources into a single, consistent data store that is loaded into a data warehouse? B.) Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) -------------------------------------------------------------- WRONG ANSWERS: *ELT stands for "Extract, Load, and Transform." In this process, data gets leveraged via a data warehouse in order to do basic transformations. That means there's no need for data staging. ELT uses cloud-based data warehousing solutions for all different types of data - including structured, unstructured, semi-structured, and even raw data types. *Delta is the incremental load between the last data load and now. For example, if your yesterday's load inserted 50 records into your target table and today 80 new records have come to your source system, you insert only the latest 80 records into the target after checking against the target table. These 80 records are the delta records. *API is the acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other.When you use an application on your mobile phone, the application connects to the Internet and sends data to a server. The server then retrieves that data, interprets it, performs the necessary actions and sends it back to your phone. The application then interprets that data and presents you with the information you wanted in a readable way.

It is mostly used when the data sets, like the data set recorded as the outcome from flipping a coin 100 times, would follow a normal distribution and may have unknown variances. A t-test is used as a hypothesis testing tool to test an assumption applicable to a population. *A Z-score is a numerical measurement that describes a value's relationship to the mean of a group of values. Z-score is measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean. If a Z-score is 0, it indicates that the data point's score is identical to the mean score. A Z-score of 1.0 would indicate a value that is one standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores may be positive or negative, with a positive value indicating the score is above the mean and a negative score indicating it is below the mean. *A p-value, or probability value, is a number describing how likely it is that your data would have occurred by random chance (i.e. that the null hypothesis is true). The level of statistical significance is often expressed as a p-value between 0 and 1. The smaller the p-value, the stronger the evidence that you should reject the null hypothesis. *A chi-square test is a statistical test used to compare observed results with expected results. The purpose of this test is to determine if a difference between observed data and expected data is due to chance, or if it is due to a relationship between the variables you are studying.
