You developed a model that predicts a health condition. If it correctly identifies 50 out of 70 actual cases as positive but wrongly identifies 20 healthy individuals as positive, calculate the model's precision and discuss the implications of this result.
💡 Hint: Use the precision formula to calculate.
If a model has a high precision rate but a low recall rate, what might this indicate about the model's performance? Give an example of what this could look like in a real-world context.
