Chapter 13, Problem 13.1P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between cast iron and steel needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Cast iron is an iron-carbon alloy containing carbon more than 2 percent. It has a comparatively small melting temperature which makes it helpful in making equipment. Steel is also an iron alloy but with less percentage of carbon. It can also have other elements alloyed with iron. It is a major component required in making buildings, machines and weapons etc. due to its high tensile strength and low cost.

Answer to Problem 13.1P

The principal distinction between forged irons is that the iron is made of waste materials and iron, recognized as the 4% coal iron.

Explanation of Solution

SteelCast iron
1) It contains less than 2% carbon content.1) It contains carbon content between 4% to 7%.
2) Steel is milder and harder to cost.2) Cast iron is brittle and easier to cast.
3) Tensile strength is more.3) Compressive strength is more.
4) Cost is varying depending on grade and type.4) Cheaper than steel.
5) Fabricated to make the structure, tools, etc.5) Manufacturing of manhole covers, piping, and guttering.

Over the last year, you have been working as a product manager in a technology company, experimenting with launching new digital products. You introduced different types of software applications (productivity, gaming, finance, and health) in various markets (North America, Europe, and Asia). You also considered the company's scale (startup or enterprise) and different marketing strategies (organic growth vs. aggressive paid marketing). After a year, you gathered all the results (see the table below) and analyzed whether each product launch was successful. Now, you would like to build a decision tree that will help guide future product launches. 5 Your task is to construct the most effective decision tree based on the dataset below and explain why it is the best one. In this exercise, you should experiment with two metrics: first, use the Gini impurity metric, and then build another tree, but this time using entropy. While working out these decision trees, you might encounter ambiguous…
