In which scenario would machine learning be more suitable than traditional rule-based programming?

Calculating the total price of items in a shopping cart using a fixed tax rate.

Detecting fraudulent credit card transactions based on subtle patterns in spending behavior.

Validating that a user's password meets a fixed set of complexity requirements.

A city transportation department wants to optimize traffic light timing to reduce congestion. They have sensor data from intersections, weather data, and historical traffic patterns. The system must adapt to changing conditions in real time. Which machine learning benefit is most critical for this adaptive requirement?

The ability to run without any historical data, using only real-time sensor feeds.

The ability to continuously learn from new data and adjust predictions as traffic patterns evolve.

The ability to guarantee optimal traffic flow in all conditions without human oversight.

The ability to provide deterministic outputs that are identical for the same input every time.

A media streaming service wants to increase user engagement by automatically generating personalized playlists. They have listening history, user ratings, and skip behavior. Which machine learning application is best suited for this goal?

Create a static playlist of the most popular songs across all users.

Build a recommendation system that learns user preferences from listening history and suggests new songs.

Use a rule-based system that plays songs from the same genre as the user's last listened track.

Conduct user surveys to manually curate playlists for each subscriber.
