Question 1

What does MSE stand for?

  • Mean Squared Error
  • Maximum Squared Error
  • Minimum Squared Error

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall our discussions about loss functions in the context of regression.

Question 2

True or False? MSE is less sensitive to outliers compared to other error metrics.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how squaring affects the magnitudes of error.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A research study involves predicting house prices. Actual prices are [400,000, 600,000, 800,000], whereas predicted prices are [420,000, 590,000, 770,000]. Calculate MSE and discuss implications if the predicted prices included a significant error.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on using the MSE formula and analyze how the data changes your results.

Question 2

You are given two different models predicting student scores. Model A has MSE = 10, while Model B has MSE = 20. What does this suggest about the performance of both models?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of MSE as a measure of 'error' – lower means better!
