What is the purpose of Machine learning?
Show Hint
- Manually coding each task.
- Analysing data and making decisions.
- Storing large amounts of information.
- Retrieving large amounts of information.
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables systems to learn from data and make decisions or predictions without being explicitly programmed for each specific task.
Step 2: Core objective
The main purpose of ML is to build systems that can analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make informed decisions or predictions.
Step 3: Elimination of incorrect options
Manually coding each task defeats the automation goal of ML.
ML is not a storage system, so options (3) and (4) are not suitable.
Step 4: Conclusion
Hence, the correct answer is (2) Analysing data and making decisions.

- The naive Bayes classifier is used to solve a two-class classification problem with class-labels \( y_1, y_2 \). Suppose the prior probabilities are \( P(y_1) = \frac{1}{3} \) and \( P(y_2) = \frac{2}{3} \). Assuming a discrete feature space with
\[ P(x | y_1) = \frac{3}{4} \quad \text{and} \quad P(x | y_2) = \frac{1}{4} \]
for a specific feature vector \( x \). The probability of misclassifying \( x \) is: (Round off to two decimal places)- GATE DA - 2025

Read the following passage and answer the questions:
Young children’s engagement with print and the importance of good literature cannot be undermined. Children’s meaningful engagement with reading can be initiated and strengthened by providing them with opportunities to read books according to their age, context and interests. When children enter school, a good collection of literature in their classroom shall convey that reading is valued an essential component of the process in the classroom. It should offer a space that is inviting and engaging into a world of interesting pictures, stories, books and other reading material. For teachers a reading corner in the classroom gives a platform where they can support and facilitate children to make meaning while reading. Teachers can transform the physical space of the classroom to create a conducive, lively and inviting space.- TG EDCET - 2025
