Explanation of Solution

The relative amount of all the elemental species present in a material is known as the composition of a material. Chemical formula such as, empirical or molecular formula can be used to express it.

For example, water is a material composed of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) with the formula H2O. This implies that a molecule of water contains 1 atom of oxygen and 2 atoms of hydrogen which is the chemical composition of water.

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…
