1 The datasets given below contains the details of the policy holders at an insurance
company. The attributes (i.e., descriptive features) included in the table describe each
policy holder’s ID, gender, age, the type of insurance policy they hold and their
preferred contact channel. The preferred contact channel attribute is the class label
attribute (i.e., target feature) that has two different values (phone, email).
ID Gender Age Policy Classification (Channel)
1 Female young Plan C phone
2 Male young Plan A email
3 Male young Plan A email
4 Female Middle-aged Plan C email 10 3 3

7 Male senior Plan B email
8 Male senior Plan C phone
9 Female senior Plan A phone
10 Female young Plan B email
a) Construct maximum likelihood probability tables for the attributes: (gender, age and
policy).
