Correct

Mark 1.00 out Select one:

of 1.00
High-level reasoning requires very little computation, but low-level sensorimotor skills require enormous
computational resources.
The sampling distribution of the sample means approaches a normal distribution as the sample size gets larger — no
matter what the shape of the population distribution.
The observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years. That this
trend will continue into the future. 
If an algorithm performs better than random search on some class of problems, then in must perform worse than
random search on the remaining problems.
A feed-forward network with a single hidden layer containing a nite number of neurons can approximate continuous
functions on compact subsets of foo, under mild assumptions on the activation function.
Question 4

Question 6
Which statement is correct regarding a supervised learning pipeline?
Correct

Mark 1.00 out Select one:

of 1.00
Batch normalization must take place before features can be passed through to the model.

Dependent and independent variables are required for training a supervised learning algorithm. 
During the prediction phase, only the defendant variable needs to be passed through and not the independent variable.

Only input features are required and then the model will group the data into similar classes.
