From the confusion matrix the number of "yes" classes that has been
misclassified is: _____________ - correct answer-4
When outlook is sunny and humidity is high then play is no. How many
examples are classified as no? - correct answer-3
For what value of the outlook attribute are all examples always classified as
yes?
