- Prioritize SKU’s by their annual dollar value to the firm in the diagram below. Explain your answer.arrow_forwardSuppose you want to predict the churn rate. Consider the two models M1 and M2. Based on the confusion matrix, M1 has an accuracy of 75% and cost of 4017. Meanwhile, M2 has an accuracy of 80% and cost of 5236. Which is the better model and why? * It depends on the business case which errors the stakeholders want to minimize and which predictions they want to maximize. M1 is the better model because it has a lower cost meaning the errors are minimized and the accuracy shows that the model was able to capture customers that will not churn. M2 is the better model because it has a O higher accuracy so the model was able to capture all churn customers. None because you need to use ROC O (receiver operating characteristic) to better evaluate the two models.arrow_forwardthe requirements for TAL Distributors have changed. A number and a name now identify each storehouse. Units of each item may be stored in multiple storehouses, and it is important to know precisely how many items are stored in each storehouse. In addition, TAL Distributors now want to manage information about the suppliers from which it purchases items. For each item, TAL Distributors needs to know the number and name of each supplier as well as the expected lead time for delivering each item. (Lead time is the amount of time a supplier is expected to take to deliver the item after TAL Distributors has ordered it.) Each item can have many suppliers, and each supplier can supply many items. Using this information, convert the following unnormalized relation to fourth normal form:arrow_forward

These products have a very low profit margin and, as a result, Stanley makes his profits on the volume of products sold. His customer base is comprised of large retail outlets (approximately 75% of his product sales) and the more traditional family-owned hardware stores (the remaining 25%). He does not sell directly to the public. Stanley's sales have consistently increased by an average of 15% over each of the last 4 years since 2022, including during the recent pandemic. This is mainly because he can still offer his imported products at competitive prices. However, his actual profit has not increased correspondingly.
