A toddler is taken to the emergency room (ER) and the triage nurse tells the parent that the child’s weight is 25 pounds. When t

he nurse enters the data into the computer, she is supposed to convert the weight to kilograms. Twenty-five pounds is about 11.3 kilograms. However, when the triage nurse enters “25” into the computer system, the system assumes it is kilograms and the toddler is now charted at weighing 25 kilograms. Sample error pulled from Team Metric 2013.

The nurse inputted incorrectly the weight of the toddler which was 25 kilograms. The actual weight of the toddler is 25 pounds which should just be 11.3 kilograms. The system can immediately detect the error since it is generally impossible for a newborn child to be 25 kilograms. <span />

Which of the following statement is true about k-NN algorithm?
BaLLatris [955]

The answer is D. All of the above.

The computational complexity of K-NN increases as the size of the training data set increase and the algorithm gets significantly slower as the number of examples and independent variables increase.

Also, K-NN is a non-parametric machine learning algorithm and as such makes no assumption about the functional form of the problem at hand.

The algorithm works better with data  of the same scale, hence normalizing the data prior to applying the algorithm is recommended.

Data set 1 : the mean is (1+2+4+4+5+5+6+7+9+9+9+11) / 12 = 72/12 = 6

the MAD is :
1 - 6 = -5....|-5| = 5
2 - 6 = -4....|-4| = 4
4 - 6 = -2...|-2| = 2
4 - 6 = -2...|-2| = 2
5 - 6 = -1...|-1| = 1
5 - 6 = -1...|-1| = 1
6 - 6 = 0 ...| 0| = 0
7 - 6 = 1....|1| = 1
9 - 6 = 3...|3| = 3
9 - 6 = 3...|3| = 3
9 - 6 = 3...|3| = 3
11 - 6 = 5...|5| = 5

(5+4+2+2+1+1+0+1+3+3+3+5) / 12 = 30/12 = 2.5 <== the MAD

2nd data set :
the mean is (1+3+4+6+6+6+7+9+9+10+10+13) / 12 = 84/12 = 7

mad is :
1 - 7 = -6...| -6| = 6
3 - 7 = -4...|-4| = 4
4 - 7 = -3...|-3| = 3
6 - 7 = -1...|-1| = 1
6 - 7 = -1..|-1| = 1
6 - 7 = -1..|-1| = 1
7 - 7 = 0...|0| = 0
9 - 7 = 2...|2| = 2
9 - 7 = 2...|2| = 2
10 - 7 = 3..|3| = 3
10 - 7 = 3...|3| = 3
13 - 7 = 6...|6| = 6

(6+4+3+1+1+1+0+2+2+3+3+6) / 12 = 32/12 = 2.67 <== the MAD

the difference of the means is 1. This value is less then half of the mean absolute deviation of either data set. <== ur answer

An airplane flew with the wind for 2.5 hours and returned the same distance against the wind in 3.5 hours. If the cruising speed
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

60 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r represent speed of wind blowing in miles per hour.          

We have been given that the cruising speed of the plane was a constant 360 mph in air. The speed of the plane is the direction of wind would be 360+r.

The speed of the plane is the opposite direction of wind would be 360-r.

\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}

Distance covered in the direction of wind would be 2.5(360+r).

Distance covered in the opposite direction of wind would be 3.5(360-r).

Since both distances are same, so we will get:

2.5(360+r)=3.5(360-r)

900+2.5r=1260-3.5r

900-900+2.5r+3.5r=1260-900-3.5r+3.5r

6r=360

\frac{6r}{6}=\frac{360}{6}

r=60

Therefore, the wind is blowing at a rate of 60 miles per hour.
