2. Accuracy metric is a good idea for imbalanced class problems.
3. Precision and recall metrics are good for imbalanced class problems.
4. Precision and recall metrics aren’t good for imbalanced class problems.
A) 1 and 3
B) 1 and 4
C) 2 and 3
D) 2 and 4

Suppose that we have N independent variables (X1,X2… Xn) and the dependent variable is
Y. Now Imagine that you are applying linear regression by fitting the best fit line using
least square error on this data.
You found that the correlation coefficient for one of its variables(Say X1) with Y is -0.95.
Which of the following is true for X1?
A) Relation between the X1 and Y is weak
B) Relation between the X1 and Y is strong
C) Relation between the X1 and Y is neutral
D) Correlation can’t judge the relationship
