1. What does a learning curve represent in machine learning?

A. The accuracy of the model during training

B. The change in the model's performance over time

C. The increase in model complexity during training

D. The error as the model learns over iterations or epochs

Answer: D) The error as the model learns over iterations or epochs

Rationale: A learning curve plots the model's performance (such as error) over time or

iterations, showing how the model improves as it is trained.




2. In which scenario would you use a time series analysis?

A. Predicting the price of a stock based on its historical prices

B. Grouping customers based on purchasing behavior

C. Classifying email as spam or not spam

D. Recommending movies based on user preferences

Answer: A) Predicting the price of a stock based on its historical prices

Rationale: Time series analysis is specifically used to analyze data points ordered in

time, like predicting stock prices.

,3. Which of the following metrics is used for evaluating the performance of a binary

classification model?

A. Accuracy

B. Mean Absolute Error (MAE)

C. Precision, Recall, and F1-Score

D. R-squared

Answer: C) Precision, Recall, and F1-Score

Rationale: Precision, Recall, and F1-Score are commonly used to evaluate binary

classification models, especially when dealing with imbalanced classes.




4. Which of the following is true about the "Naive" in Naive Bayes?

A. The model assumes that the features are dependent on each other.

B. The model assumes that all features are equally important.

C. The model assumes that features are independent of each other.

D. The model does not require any prior probabilities.

Answer: C) The model assumes that features are independent of each other.

Rationale: The term "naive" comes from the assumption that all features are

independent, which simplifies the computation but is often unrealistic.

, 5. Which of the following algorithms is often used for feature selection in high-

dimensional datasets?

A. Linear Regression

B. Lasso Regression

C. Random Forest

D. K-Means Clustering

Answer: B) Lasso Regression

Rationale: Lasso regression uses L1 regularization, which can shrink coefficients to

zero, effectively performing feature selection in high-dimensional data.




6. Which metric is most commonly used to evaluate the performance of a regression

model?

A. Accuracy

B. Precision

C. Mean Squared Error (MSE)

D. F1-Score

Answer: C) Mean Squared Error (MSE)
