Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related ALG2.121 Interpreting Polynomial Models skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

You have 18 data points. Model A: degree 4, training RMSE = 2.8, validation RMSE = 3.0 Model B: degree 12, training RMSE = 0.6, validation RMSE = 5.9 Which model is more reasonable for prediction on new data?

AModel B, because its training RMSE is much smaller.

BModel B, because higher-degree polynomials always generalize better.

CEither model; validation RMSE is irrelevant if training RMSE is small.

DModel A, because Model B shows classic overfitting (very low training error but much worse validation error).

Solution & Explanation:Validation performance estimates how the model will do on new data. Model B’s validation RMSE is far worse, indicating overfitting. Model A generalizes better.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A polynomial regression uses a degree 12 model: y = a₁₂x¹² + … + a₁x + a₀. How many coefficients (parameters) are there in total, including the constant term?

Solution & Explanation:A degree-12 polynomial has terms from x¹² down to x⁰, which is 12 + 1 = 13 coefficients.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A dataset has 25 points. Model A: degree 3, residual standard error = 2.0 Model B: degree 7, residual standard error = 1.9 Which is the most reasonable conclusion?

AModel B is always preferable because 1.9 is smaller than 2.0.

BModel A is overfitting because its error is larger.

CModel A may be preferable because the improvement is small compared to the added complexity, which increases overfitting risk.

DModel B cannot overfit because it is still a polynomial.

Solution & Explanation:A tiny error reduction may not justify adding many extra terms. More complex models can be less stable and can overfit, so the simpler model can be the better choice.
