Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Select bias metrics
The first step in Aequitas is to define the bias metrics (e.g., False Positive Rate Parity) relevant to the context.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Encrypt the dataset
Why it's wrong here
Encryption is a security control, not a fairness audit step.
- ✗
Train a new model
Why it's wrong here
Training is a development task.
- ✓
Select bias metrics
Why this is correct
Before running analysis, the auditor must choose which fairness metrics are appropriate.
- ✗
Delete sensitive attributes
Why it's wrong here
Deleting attributes is a mitigation strategy, not an audit step.
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.
