INSTRUCTIONS FOR QUESTIONS 1-5
For each of the following five questions, select the probability distribution
that could best be used to model the described scenario. Each distribution
might be used, zero, one, or more than one time in the five questions.
These scenarios are meant to be simple and straightforward; if you're an
expert in the field the question asks about, please do not rely on your
expertise to fill in all the extra complexity (you'll end up making the
questions below more difficult than I intended).

INFORMATION FOR QUESTIONS 6-7
Five classification models were built for predicting whether a
neighborhood will soon see a large rise in home prices, based on public
elementary school ratings and other factors. The training data set was
missing the school rating variable for every new school (3% of the data
points).
Because ratings are unavailable for newly-opened schools, it is believed
that locations that have recently experienced high population growth are
more likely to have missing school rating data.
Model 1 used imputation, filling in the missing data with the average
school rating from the rest of the data.
Model 2 used imputation, building a regression model to fill in the
missing school rating data based on other variables.
Model 3 used imputation, first building a classification model to
estimate (based on other variables) whether a new school is likely to
have been built as a result of recent population growth (or whether it
has been built for another purpose, e.g. to replace a very old school),
and then using that classification to select one of two regression
models to fill in an estimate of the school rating; there are two different
regression models (based on other variables), one for neighborhoods
with new schools built due to population growth, and one for
neighborhoods with new schools built for other reasons.
Model 4 used a binary variable to identify locations with missing
information.
Model 5 used a categorical variable: first, a classification model was
used to estimate whether a new school is likely to have been built as a
result of recent population growth; and then each neighborhood was
categorized as "data available", "missing, population growth", or
"missing, other reason".
