A hospital wants to predict whether a patient will be readmitted within 30 days. The logistic regression model outputs a probability of 0.6 for a particular patient. The hospital uses a default decision threshold of 0.5. What is the model's prediction for this patient?

Positive only if the probability is above 0.7

Negative (will not be readmitted)

Part of the Machine Learning Algorithms domain, which makes up ~29% of our current practice bank. GIAC (SANS) does not publish an official question count, but from its 180-minute exam (~70–120 total, ~20–35 in this domain), expect 7–12 from this objective — we provide 36 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
