One can use the matrix to calculate the evaluation metrics, such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. Suppose a confusion matrix contains TP (true positive) = 900, FN (false negative) = 100, FP (false positive) = 50, and TN (true negative) = 950. What is the value of precision for the model? (A) 1850/2000 (B) 900/1000 (C) 900/2000 (D) 50/950 (E) 900/950

29. Suppose there is a two-input neuron with weights w1 = 3, w2 = 2, and bias b = 1.2. Let the activation function f be the ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) function, defined as f(x) = max(0, x). Given the inputs p1 = -5 and p2 = 6. What is the output of this neuron? (A) 0 (B) 1.2 (C) 2.4 (D) -1.5 (E) -1.8

30. For a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) that can produce images of cars, which of the following statements is TRUE? (1) The generator aims to learn the distribution of car images.
