16) C
A NoSQL offers the flexibility, performance, and scalability to handle high volumes of data. This next phase database will become common to handle the new world of growing data analysis.
17) D
Because the data is both numerical and non-numerical, then both the COUNT and the COUNTA function need to be used to find the blank or missing values quickly.
18) C
When a small data set is in use, then is.na function is fine, but when the set is larger, then which and is.na is used to quickly identify the missing values.
19) A
With outliers, the preference is median over mean for the missing values.
The reasoning is the swing could impact the variable amounts. Thus, both Analytic Solver and R both have easy imputations to compute this function.
