A bakery runs a gluten-free versus not model on packaged rolls. It keeps calling wheat rolls gluten-free, so the gluten-free tray is getting contaminated. Leadership wants fewer of those wrong gluten-free flags. Which statement is correct?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Think of a gluten-free tray that keeps getting wheat rolls. Those wrong gluten-free flags are false positives, and false positives drag precision down. They are not missed gluten-free rolls, and RMSE is a measuring tape for numbers, not bins.
Full Explanation
A false positive is a negative example predicted as the positive class. Wheat rolls flagged gluten-free are false positives for gluten-free, and extra false positives lower precision. They are not false negatives, which would be true gluten-free rolls missed. They are not true positives. RMSE is a numeric-regression metric, not the right reading of this classification matrix.
