AI0-001 AI Concepts and Foundations Practice Question
Exhibit
{
"fairness_metric": "demographic_parity",
"threshold": 0.1,
"protected_attributes": ["race", "gender"]
}Refer to the exhibit. An AI auditor reviews the fairness configuration. What is the purpose of this policy?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between demographic parity (equal positive prediction rates) and equalized odds (equal error rates), so candidates mistakenly choose 'equal error rates' when they see a fairness policy that actually enforces demographic parity.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Ensure equal positive prediction rates across groups
The policy sets a fairness constraint that requires the model's positive prediction rate (the fraction of instances predicted as the positive class) to be equal across all defined groups. This is a standard demographic parity requirement, which is implemented by adjusting the decision threshold or reweighting training data to ensure that each group receives the same proportion of positive predictions, regardless of the actual outcome distribution.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Ensure equal error rates across groups
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect; equal error rates refer to equality of opportunity, not demographic parity.
- ✓
Ensure equal positive prediction rates across groups
Why this is correct
Correct; demographic parity aims for similar selection rates.
- ✗
Ensure equal accuracy across groups
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect; demographic parity focuses on prediction rates, not accuracy.
- ✗
Ensure model interpretability
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect; interpretability is about understanding model decisions, not fairness metric.
Quick reference
RAID Level Comparison
| RAID Level | Min Disks | Fault Tolerance | Read | Write | Usable Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RAID 0 | 2 | None | Excellent | Excellent | 100% |
| RAID 1 | 2 | 1 disk | Good | Moderate | 50% |
| RAID 5 | 3 | 1 disk | Good | Moderate | 67–94% |
| RAID 6 | 4 | 2 disks | Good | Lower | 50–88% |
| RAID 10 | 4 | 1 disk per mirror | Excellent | Good | 50% |
RAID is not a backup strategy — it protects against disk failure but not against accidental deletion, ransomware, or site-level events.
