Q. State True or False : In machine learning, the error is used to see how accurately the model can predict data.
Answer: True
Q. When a model is evaluated on the training data it always predicts correctly. This is known as ___________.
Answer: Overfitting
Q. Define Accuracy. Also give one example to explain why high accuracy does not always mean a model is performing well in real-world situations.
Answer: Accuracy is the percentage of correct predictions out of all predictions made by the model. Example: In medical diagnosis, a model may show 90% accuracy, but if it fails to detect sick patients (false negatives), it is dangerous. So, high accuracy does not always mean good real‑world performance.
Q. Explain Train-test split technique with respect to machine learning algorithm.
Answer: The Train‑test split technique divides data into two parts: training data and testing data. The training data is used to teach the model, and the testing data is used to check how well the model performs on new, unseen data. This helps avoid overfitting.
Q. Give any two characteristics of a Classification Model.
Answer:
- It predicts categorical outputs (like Yes/No, Spam/Not Spam).
- It divides data into predefined classes based on input features.
Q. What is model evaluation in machine learning, and how does it help improve an AI model?
Answer: Model evaluation means checking how well a machine learning model performs using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. It helps identify strengths and weaknesses of the model and provides feedback to improve accuracy and reliability in real‑world use.
Q. Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow:
A school recently tested an AI model designed to predict whether students would pass or fail their final exams. Out of 100 students, the model correctly predicted that
40 students would pass and they actually did. It also correctly identified 30 students who were going to fail. However, the model predicted that 20 students would pass, but they ended up failing. Additionally, it predicted that 10 students would fail, but they actually passed.
a) Draw the confusion matrix based on the above information.
Answer:
Given Data
- Correctly predicted Pass (TP) = 40
- Correctly predicted Fail (TN) = 30
- Predicted Pass but actually Fail (FP) = 20
- Predicted Fail but actually Pass (FN) = 10
Confusion Matrix
| Predicted Pass | Predicted Fail | |
|---|---|---|
| Actual Pass | 40 (TP) | 10 (FN) |
| Actual Fail | 20 (FP) | 30 (TN) |
b) Calculate the accuracy of this classification model. Show your working.
Answer:
Accuracy Calculation
\[ \text{Accuracy} = \frac{TP + TN}{TP + TN + FP + FN} = \frac{40 + 30}{40 + 30 + 20 + 10} = \frac{70}{100} = 0.7 \]Accuracy: 70%
c) Write the total number of wrong predictions made by the model.
Answer: Wrong predictions = FP + FN = 20 + 10 = 30

PQR Security Solutions has designed an AI Model to detect cyber attacks on E-Commerce websites. For this, various network activities were monitored and analyzed on one of the websites. The model was tested on a dataset of 1500 network activities. Out of these, the model correctly predicted that 1000 were cyber attacks. It also correctly identified that 250 were not cyber attacks. However, the model predicted that 200 were cyber attacks but actually they were not. Additionally, it predicted that 50 were not cyber attacks but they actually were.

Answer: True Negative = 250
c. Calculate Precision.
Answer:
\[ \text{Precision} = \frac{TP}{TP + FP} = \frac{1000}{1000 + 200} = \frac{1000}{1200} = 0.833 \approx 83.3\% \]Precision = 83.3%

Answer:
\[ \text{Precision} = \frac{TP}{TP + FP} = \frac{590}{590 + 20} = \frac{590}{610} = 0.967 \approx 96.7\% \]\[ \text{Recall} = \frac{TP}{TP + FN} = \frac{590}{590 + 10} = \frac{590}{600} = 0.983 \approx 98.3\% \]\[ F1 = \frac{2 \times \text{Precision} \times \text{Recall}}{\text{Precision} + \text{Recall}} = \frac{2 \times 0.967 \times 0.983}{0.967 + 0.983} = \frac{1.902}{1.950} = 0.975 \approx 97.5\% \]- Precision = 96.7%
- Recall = 98.3%
- F1 Score = 97.5%

Answer: True Positives = 300
b. Calculate Precision, Recall and F1-Score.
Answer:
\[ \text{Precision} = \frac{TP}{TP + FP} = \frac{300}{300 + 40} = \frac{300}{340} = 0.882 \approx 88.2\% \]\[ \text{Recall} = \frac{TP}{TP + FN} = \frac{300}{300 + 60} = \frac{300}{360} = 0.833 \approx 83.3\% \]\[ F1 = \frac{2 \times \text{Precision} \times \text{Recall}}{\text{Precision} + \text{Recall}} = \frac{2 \times 0.882 \times 0.833}{0.882 + 0.833} = \frac{1.470}{1.715} = 0.857 \approx 85.7\% \]- Precision = 88.2%
- Recall = 83.3%
- F1 Score = 85.7%
