Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a model predicting whether an email is spam. Out of 100 predictions, 60 are true positives, 30 are false positives, and 10 are true negatives. Calculate the precision, and discuss its implications in email filtering.

💡 Hint: Revisit the precision formula.

Question 2

In a medical testing scenario, if a test identifies 150 patients with a disease, where 100 truly have it and 50 do not, analyze the precision and evaluate the importance of this metric in public health.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the real-world impact of misclassifications.
