Answer 1

Answer:

In order to make a decision utilizing a decision tree, you must:___________

b. begin at Time 0 and work towards the most distant point in time.

Explanation:

Decision trees are built up by starting from the present with the overarching objective (goal) in mind.  Then, one classifies the information along various branches and leaf nodes, with each branch representing the outcome of an alternative route or a question answered based on the likelihood of the event happening.  Each leaf node represents a class label (decision taken after computing all attributes). This structure can be used to predict likely values of data attributes.
