Question 22
UnclassifiedA confusion matrix entry True Positive (TP) means:
Correct answer: B
Explanation
A True Positive means the model identified a positive case and the actual label was also positive. In confusion matrix terms, "true" means the prediction matches the actual class, and "positive" means the class is positive.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. The model predicted negative and the actual is negative
B. The model predicted positive and the actual is positive
In a confusion matrix, the cell for TP counts cases where the classifier assigns the positive class and the ground-truth label is also positive, so the prediction and actual outcome agree on the positive category. This is one of the four standard outcomes used to compute metrics such as precision and recall; no statutory or regulatory rule applies here because this is a machine-learning definition rather than a legal standard.
C. The model predicted positive but actual is negative
D. The model predicted negative but actual is positive
