UNIT-1
1 What is Machine Learning? Give different applications of ML.
2 Explain different types of machine learning.
3 Explain the concept of penalty and reward in reinforcement learning.
4 What are the basic data types in machine learning? Give an example of each one of them.
UNIT-2
1 Define basic terms: Experiment, Sample space, Event, Probability, Joint probability.
2 A box contains five white balls, 6 blue balls and three yellow balls. A ball is drawn at random. Find
probability that:
1) Ball is not yellow
2) Ball is either white or yellow
In the second random experiment if two balls are drawn in succession, then what is the probability that
the second ball is blue if the first ball is white?
3 Write a short note on Hypothesis testing.
4 Define the terms:
a) Cross Validation b) Inductive bias c) Hypothesis space d) Random Variable
5 Define the following terms. (i) Variance (ii) Covariance (iii) Joint Probability
6 Explain Monte Carlo Approximation with suitable example.
A population consists of six numbers 4,8,12,16,20,24. consider all samples of size two which can be
drawn without replacement from this population. Calculate following:
i) The Population mean ii) The population standard deviation
ii) iii) The mean of the sampling distribution of means
