PMI Certified in Artificial Intelligence (CPMAI) — Question 6

The confusion matrix measures how the algorithm performs for a binary classification activity. As your team is running tests to evaluate model performance, they are seeing the model is incorrectly categorizing flowers as trees.
Your model is provided the following:

Answer options

• A. False Negative results
• B. False Positive results
• C. True Positive results
• D. True Negative results

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a False Positive occurs when the model incorrectly identifies a negative instance (flowers) as a positive one (trees). The other options represent different outcomes: A refers to incorrectly identifying a positive instance, C indicates correct identification of positives, and D pertains to correctly identifying negatives.
