Question 1.
What is the main purpose of Bagging?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how multiple models work together.
Question 2.
In which ensemble technique do models learn sequentially?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how models can correct previous errors.
3Question 3.
What learning type is used in Bagging?
- Sequential
- Parallel
- Blended

4Question 4.
Boosting primarily aims to reduce which types of errors?
- Bias only
- Variance only
- Both bias and variance
Show hintHide hint
Consider the goal of improving model accuracy.
Question 5.
You are given a dataset that has high variance and is prone to overfitting. Which ensemble method would you choose between Bagging, Boosting, and Stacking? Justify your choice based on the characteristics of each method.
Show hintHide hint
Think about which method focuses most on variance reduction.
Question 6.
If you had to explain the risks of overfitting in Boosting to a non-technical audience, how would you explain it in simpler terms?
Show hintHide hint
