Day 1 · Monday · Answer key
Prediction claims and credible evaluation
This key is released after submission. The questions it answers are on the pre-class check, the two studios and the problem set for this day. Work through them and commit to an answer before you read the explanations here: the point of every question is the reasoning, and a letter you have not argued for teaches you nothing.
Check the reason, not only the letter. A correct choice should identify the relevant time boundary, denominator, comparison, or claim.
Pre-class concept check
- P1
B. The booking and scheduled date exist before discharge; completed follow-up and readmission are later outcomes.
- P2
C. Always predicting “on time” scores 92%, so 93% is a one-point accuracy improvement; queue performance is still unknown.
- P3
B. Both later time and unseen organisations belong in the test because both belong in the proposed use.
- P4
B. A calling decision requires the change caused by contact, which compares contact with no contact for comparable customers.
- P5
C. Selective accuracy describes answered cases; coverage states how often the system answers.
- P6
B. Once audit errors guide revision, the audit has become development evidence.
Concept studio
- C1
A. The unit, moment, outcome, and review action all refer to the same parcel decision.
- C2
D. Realised hub delay arrives after the acceptance-time score.
- C3
C. Accuracy alone omits prevalence, baseline, capacity, and the location of errors.
- C4
B. An untouched latest month most closely represents next-month use among current merchants.
- C5
A. Accuracy is \((6+84)/100=90\%\), precision is \(6/10=60\%\), recall is \(6/12=50\%\), and the baseline is \(88/100=88\%\).
- C6
A. Six late parcels in the queue is well above the random expectation of 1.2, but the audit does not price actions or guarantee stability.
- C7
C. Predictive association with courier does not identify the effect of changing courier.
- C8
A. The audit supports assisted prioritisation, not automatic rerouting or a causal story.
Empirical studio
- E1
B. The target is supported role extraction from the supplied description, not actual authority.
- E2
C. Only the exact phrase in the supplied description belongs to the declared information set.
- E3
B. Freezing prevents audit outcomes from selecting the rule they are meant to evaluate.
- E4
C. The compact rule answers 245 rows and matches the provisional reference on those 245; the other five are abstentions.
- E5
B. Evidence preservation, review, correction, and a path for abstention make the workflow contestable.
- E6
A. Two phrase-based systems can agree because they share construction choices; blinded review supplies more independent evidence.
- E7
B. The reported result is limited to this frozen build and provisional audit reference until independent review is complete.
Problem set
- S1
A. Precision uses flagged parcels as its denominator: \(30/40=75\%\).
- S2
C. Recall uses all late parcels as its denominator: \(30/50=60\%\).
- S3
A. Thirty late parcels rather than four expected at random is strong prioritisation evidence, not evidence of prevented delays.
- S4
C. A week-three appointment cannot be known before term.
- S5
B. Outcome prediction does not identify the effect of offering support.
- S6
B. The stated use is voluntary, reviewable outreach with attention to errors and burdens.
- S7
C. Later documents from fully unseen organisations best match both dimensions of the use.
- S8
A. Conditions can still drift between the evaluation period and 2027.
- S9
A. Revision on final cases consumes their independence; a fresh final check is required.
- S10
B. Coverage is \(95/100\); selective accuracy is \(93/95\).
- S11
C. The task requires abstention when the description supplies no evidence.
- S12
B. Extracted wording frequency is observed; institutional promotion practice is not.
