DP-100 · Question #90

You are evaluating a completed binary classification machine learning model. You need to use the precision as the evaluation metric. Which visualization should you use?

The correct answer is A. Binary classification confusion matrix. A binary classification confusion matrix displays the counts of True Positives (TP), True Negatives (TN), False Positives (FP), and False Negatives (FN). Precision is calculated directly from these values as TP / (TP + FP), representing the proportion of positive predictions…

Explanation

A binary classification confusion matrix displays the counts of True Positives (TP), True Negatives (TN), False Positives (FP), and False Negatives (FN). Precision is calculated directly from these values as TP / (TP + FP), representing the proportion of positive predictions that are actually correct. A box plot visualizes data distribution and spread. Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm, not an evaluation visualization. The coefficient of determination (R²) is a regression metric. Only the confusion matrix provides the raw counts needed to compute and interpret precision.
