Question 13

+2 marksOne correct option

Consider a binary classification problem in which a decision tree is classifying data points into two classes, A and B. In a particular node of the tree, 60% of the data points belong to class A, while the remaining 40% belong to class B.
Based on the above data, answer the given subquestions.
