Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Analyze a dataset where 95 out of 100 samples belong to the 'Class A' and only 5 samples belong to 'Class B'. If a model predicts all samples as 'Class A', what will be the accuracy and what does it indicate?

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of simply counting correct predictions without considering class balance.

Challenge 2 Hard

You are tasked with creating a pipeline for a classification model assessing rare disease presence. Discuss how you would evaluate model performance beyond accuracy.

💡 Hint: Role-play as a healthcare provider: How would you ensure all critical disease cases are identified?
