A single numeric feature is being prepared for a model. The rows have already been split, and the training set contains these eight values:
One further row was held out for validation. Its raw value is
You now fit a Z-score standardizer
following the golden rule of validation: the scaler is fitted on the training rows only, and the fitted scaler is then applied to the held-out row.
Use the sample standard deviation, dividing the sum of squared deviations by .
What standardized value does the fitted scaler produce for the held-out row?
Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
Once you get it right, the reasoning behind the answer shows up here.
In raw numbers weight spans 60 while sweetness spans 6. The highlighted pair sits far apart on one track and almost together on the other.
