  1. SVM can only be used for binary classification
  2. SVM is sensitive to outliers
  3. SVM does not require feature scaling
  4. SVM is a type of unsupervised learning

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements about SVM is true?
  • Step 1: Understand what SVM (Support Vector Machine) is. It is a type of machine learning algorithm used for classification tasks.
  • Step 2: Learn about decision boundaries. SVM creates a line (or hyperplane) that separates different classes in the data.
  • Step 3: Know what outliers are. Outliers are data points that are significantly different from other data points.
  • Step 4: Recognize that outliers can influence the decision boundary created by SVM.
  • Step 5: Conclude that if there are outliers in the data, they can change where the decision boundary is placed, making SVM sensitive to them.
