Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: KDD is least appropriate for identifying the efficacy of a treatment for children with the rare and fatal Batten disease. KDD identifies complex patterns and relationships in collected data; it is a powerful tool, suitable for the analysis of large amounts of data. KDD may be used to identify risk factors for diseases or efficacy of particular treatment modalities. However, KDD is not used when insufficient data would be available, as in the case of a rare disease.

Answer to Question 2

Decision support systems
Rationale : Decision support systems aid in and strengthen the selection of viable options using the information of an organization or a field to facilitate decision making and overall efficiency.
