Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals — Question 4

Which type of machine learning should you use to predict the number of gift cards that will be sold next month?

Answer options

• A. classification
• B. regression
• C. clustering

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, regression, because it is used for predicting continuous numerical values, such as the quantity of gift cards to be sold. Classification is not suitable here as it deals with categorizing data into discrete classes, while clustering is used for grouping similar data points, not for prediction.
