Q8. Find the mean of 0-1 loss for the given predictions:
1
0
1.5
0.5
Answer: 0.5
Q9. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply.
A model with more parameters is more prone to overfitting and typically has higher variance.
If a learning algorithm is suffering from high bias, only adding more training examples may not improve the test error significantly.
When debugging learning algorithms, it is useful to plot a learning curve to understand if there is a high bias or high variance problem.
If a neural network has much lower training error than test error, then adding more layers will help bring the test error down because we can fit the test set better.
Answer: B, D

Q10. Bias and variance are given by:
E[f^(x)]−f(x),E[(E[f^(x)]−f^(x))2]
E[f^(x)]−f(x),E[(E[f^(x)]−f^(x))]2
(E[f^(x)]−f(x))2,E[(E[f^(x)]−f^(x))2]
(E[f^(x)]−f(x))2,E[(E[f^(x)]−f^(x))]2
Answer: E[f^(x)]−f(x),E[(E[f^(x)]−f^(x))2]

Q9) A new phone, E-Corp X1 has been announced and it is what you’ve been waiting for, all along. You decide to read the reviews before buying it. From past experiences, you’ve figured out that good reviews mean that the product is good 90% of the time and bad reviews mean that it is bad 70% of the time. Upon glancing through the reviews section, you find out that the X1 has been reviewed 1269 times and only 172 of them were bad reviews. What is the probability that, if you order the X1, it is a bad phone?
a. 0.136
b. 0.160
c. 0.360
d. 0.840
e. 0.773
f. 0.573
