CompTIA DataX (DY0-001) — Question 18

A data scientist has constructed a model that meets the minimum performance requirements specified in the proposal for a prediction project. The data scientist thinks the model's accuracy should be improved, but the proposed deadline is approaching. Which of the following actions should the data scientist take first?

Answer options

• A. Continue collecting data.
• B. Request additional funding.
• C. Consult the key project stakeholder.
• D. Test additional model specifications.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The best first step is to consult the key project stakeholder, as they might provide insights or adjustments to project priorities. Continuing to collect data or testing additional model specifications may not be feasible given the deadline. Requesting additional funding may not address the immediate need to align with project expectations.
