# Qwen3-8B Analysis
Quantisation can subtly degrade performance — especially reasoning, creativity, and precise execution. By including diverse, well-known benchmark-style prompts, you can detect both obvious failures and subtle regressions in model behavior post-quantisation.
I asked 6 questions across all the quantised models. I have a quick summary below with a full list of the answers at the bottom for anyone who wants to see what happened.
## Winner table
There are numerous good candidates - lots of different models showed up in the top 3 across all the quesionts. However, **Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_M** was a finalist in all but one question so is the recommended model. **Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_S** did nearly as well and is worth considering,
The 'hello' question is the first time that all models got it exactly right. All models in the 8B range did well and it's mainly a question of what one works best on your hardware.

## _Write a haiku about rain in Kyoto, using traditional seasonal imagery and emotional subtlety._
**Purpose:** Evaluates creative generation, cultural knowledge, and linguistic finesse.
A haiku must follow structure (5-7-5 syllables), use kigo (seasonal word), and evoke mood (often melancholy or transience).
Kyoto + rain suggests spring rains (tsuyu) or autumn sadness — rich in poetic tradition.
**Why it's good:**
Tests if quantisation affects poetic sensitivity or leads to generic/forced output.
Small mistakes in word choice or rhythm are easy to spot.
Challenges the model’s grasp of nuance, metaphor, and cultural context — areas where precision loss can degrade quality.
### 🥇 1st place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_M
**Why:**
✅ Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_M captures the essence of a Kyoto spring rain with flawless structure, evocative imagery, and authentic emotional tone. It reads like a real haiku master’s work.

- Rich Kyoto imagery (stone steps, cherry petals, moss, monk).
- Seasonal reference (cherry blossoms → spring).
- Emotional subtlety: introspection and impermanence conveyed through “a monk’s silence.”
- Evokes mono no aware — the gentle sadness of transient beauty — core to Japanese aesthetics.
### 🥈 2nd place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_S
**Why:**
✅ Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_S feels cinematic and lush — emotionally rich and distinctly Kyotoan, though a bit more Western in tone than Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_M.
- Excellent sensory detail and atmosphere.
- “Lanterns weep” and “moss cradles the past” are elegant personifications conveying deep nostalgia.
- A touch more ornate and “English-poetic” than traditional haiku minimalism, but still beautiful and resonant.
### 🥉 3rd place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_S
**Why:**
✅ Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_S is serene, balanced, and evocative — just a touch too literal in the final line to reach top-tier subtlety.
- Evokes classic Kyoto scenes (bamboo, moss, temple).
- Strong atmosphere and emotional subtlety.
- Slightly explicit with “Spring’s breath fades away” (traditional haiku prefer suggestion to statement).
- Still elegant and musical.

| 8️⃣ | **Qwen3-8B-f16:Q6_K** | Correctly constructed but feels generic—less emotional nuance. |
| 9️⃣ | **Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_M** | Too abstract and declarative (“Unspoken sorrow” states emotion instead of implying it). |
## _Explain the difference between Type I and Type II errors in statistics. Provide a real-world example where each type could occur._
**Purpose:** Assesses technical understanding, clarity of explanation, and application to real contexts.
Type I: False positive (rejecting true null hypothesis).
Type II: False negative (failing to reject false null).
Example: Medical testing — diagnosing a healthy person with disease (I), or missing a disease in a sick person (II).
**Why it's good:**
Checks factual accuracy and conceptual clarity.
Quantised models may oversimplify or confuse definitions.
Real-world application tests generalisation, not just memorisation.
### 🥇 1st place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_S

## _Summarise the plot of 'Pride and Prejudice' in three paragraphs. Then analyse how social class influences the characters' decisions._
**Purpose:** Measures comprehension, coherent long-form writing, and thematic analysis.
Summary requires condensing a complex narrative accurately.
Analysis demands higher-order thinking: linking character motivations (e.g., Darcy’s pride, Wickham’s deception, Charlotte’s marriage) to societal structures.
**Why it's good:**
Long response stresses coherence across sentences and paragraphs.
Social class theme evaluates interpretive depth.
Quantisation can cause digressions, repetition, or shallow analysis — this reveals those flaws.
### 🥇 1st place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_S
✅ Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_S reads like a top-tier literature essay response — fluid, balanced, and sophisticated in both narrative summary and class analysis.
- The summary is concise, chronological, and emotionally resonant — it captures Pride and Prejudice’s tone and character arcs with precision.
- The analysis is exceptionally strong: it connects social class directly to character motivation (Elizabeth’s pride, Darcy’s arrogance, Collins/Charlotte’s choices, Lydia’s scandal) while still keeping an essay-like coherence.
- The final sentence — “love and merit over inherited status… ideals remain aspirational” — is insightful and nuanced, showing critical thought rather than a simplistic conclusion.
### 🥈 2nd place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_M
✅ Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_M is expansive and eloquent — slightly more descriptive than analytical, but deeply thoughtful and emotionally intelligent.
- Excellent integration of plot summary and interpretation, with the summary naturally emphasizing social and emotional tension.
- The analysis is rich — explores women’s limited autonomy, class privilege, moral integrity, and the symbolic meaning of Elizabeth/Darcy’s union.
- Very readable, slightly more verbose than Q4_K_S, but beautifully phrased and thematically tight.
### 🥉 3rd place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_M
✅ Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_M demonstrates deep understanding and critical precision — it’s just a little heavy in tone and less elegant stylistically.
- Detailed and accurate three-paragraph plot summary with smooth flow and clear coverage of key subplots (Collins, Lady Catherine, Lydia).
- The social class analysis is robust, explicitly linking class to psychology, morality, and marriage.
- Slightly dense and more textbook-like than 1st and 2nd, but still very strong on substance.

## _Create a Python function that checks if a number is prime. Then write a second function that prints all prime numbers from 1 to 50 using the first function._
**Purpose:** Tests code generation, algorithmic logic, and functional composition.
Must handle edge cases (e.g., 1 is not prime, 2 is).
Loop efficiency isn't critical here, but correctness is.
Second function should call the first in a loop.
**Why it's good:**
Programming tasks are sensitive to small logical errors.
Quantised models sometimes generate syntactically correct but logically flawed code.
Combines two functions, testing modular thinking.
### 🥇 1st place: Qwen3-8B-f-16:Q8_0
**Why:**
✅ Qwen3-8B-f-16:Q8_0 is the most professional, efficient, and pedagogically strong. Perfect for clarity, correctness, and performance.
- It’s technically optimal — checks divisibility only up to √n and skips even numbers efficiently.
- Clean structure, clear doc-style explanation, and precise logic order.
- Starts range at 2 (correctly excludes 1).
- Includes both code and rationale clearly separated.
- Uses consistent naming and formatting — reads like production-quality code.
### 🥈 2nd place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_S
**Why:**
✅ Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_S is clean, efficient, and reusable — great for readability and teaching best practices.
- Almost as efficient as Q8_0, with even-number optimization and range flexibility (`print_primes_up_to(limit)` rather than hardcoding 50).
- Well-documented and modular — good for reusability.
- Slightly less elegant in structure (more verbose sectioning), but still top-tier.
### 🥉 3rd place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_M
✅ Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_M is well-documented, clear, and accurate — just not quite as optimized as the top two.
- Includes proper docstrings and structured explanation.
- Uses the `math.sqrt()` optimization for clarity.
- Nicely organized, but doesn’t skip even numbers, so slightly less efficient than 1st and 2nd.
- Balanced between readability and correctness.

## _Repeat the word "hello" exactly 20 times on a single line, separated by commas._
**Purpose:** Probes instruction following precision and mechanical reliability._
Seems trivial, but surprisingly revealing.
Correct output: hello, hello, hello, ..., hello (20 times).
**Why it's good:**
Tests exactness — does the model count correctly?
Some models "drift" and repeat 19 or 21 times, or add newlines.
Highlights issues with token counting or attention mechanisms under quantisation.
Acts as a sanity check: if the model fails here, deeper flaws may exist.
### 🥇 1st place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_S
**Why:**
✅ Output matches the instruction exactly and literally.
### 🥈 2nd place: Qwen-8B-f-16:Q2_K
**Why:**
✅ Perfectly readable but slightly less literal.
- Also correct — 20 “hello”s, single line, comma-separated.
- Includes spaces after commas, which is acceptable in plain English formatting but technically extra versus the exact text instruction.
### 🥉 3rd place: Everything else
**Why:**
- All identical to Option 2 in content — 20 “hello”s, no spaces.
- Since everything else are duplicates, they tie for third place.
- No mistakes, but nothing new to distinguish them.
## Detailed results
### 1. "A bat and a ball cost $1.10 together. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? Explain your reasoning step by step."
**Purpose:** Tests logical reasoning and resistance to cognitive bias.
The temperature was set to 0.2. Everything else was left at the default settings.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q2_K
The total cost of a bat and a ball together is **$1.10**. The bat costs **$1.00 more than the ball**, so we can set up an equation to determine the ball’s price:
Let the cost of the ball be $x$. Then, the bat's cost is $x + 1.00$. Together, their total cost is:
$$
\text{Ball} + \text{Bat} = x + (x + 1.00) = 2x + 1.00
$$
We are told that this total equals **$1.10**, so we solve for $x$:
$$
2x + 1.00 = 1.10 \quad \text{(Step 1)}
$$
$$
2x = 1.10 - 1.00 = 0.10 \quad \text{(Step 2)}
$$
$$
x = \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.05 \quad \text{(Step 3)}
$$
Thus, the **ball costs $0.05** (or **$0.05**, which is **5 cents**), and the bat costs **$1.05** (a dollar and five cents). Their total cost is:
$$
0.05 + 1.05 = 1.10 \quad \text{✅}
$$
---
#### ✅ Final Answer:
- **Ball price**: $0.05
- **Bat price**: $1.05 (since it costs $1.00 more than the ball)
This satisfies all conditions of the problem statement.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_S
To determine the cost of the ball, let's define:
- Let $ x $ be the cost of the **ball** in dollars.
- Then, the **bat** costs $ x + 1.00 $ (since it is $1 more than the ball).
The total cost of both items is given as $1.10. This gives the equation:
$$
x + (x + 1.00) = 1.10
$$
#### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Combine like terms on the left side:
$$
2x + 1.00 = 1.10
$$
2. Subtract 1.00 from both sides to isolate the term with $ x $:
$$
2x = 1.10 - 1.00
$$
$$
2x = 0.10
$$
3. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for $ x $:
$$
x = \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.05
$$
#### Final Answer:
The **ball costs $0.05** (or **5 cents**).
To verify:
- Ball = $0.05, Bat = $1.05 → Total = $0.05 + $1.05 = $1.10 ✔️
This matches the problem's conditions. The key was correctly modeling the relationship between the bat and ball's costs using algebra.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_M
The problem involves determining the cost of a ball given the total cost of a bat and a ball together and the difference in their prices.
---
#### Step-by-Step Explanation:
1. **Define Variables:**
- Let $ b $ represent the cost of the ball (in dollars).
- Since the bat costs $1.00 more than the ball, its cost is $ b + 1.00 $.
2. **Set Up an Equation:**
- The total cost of both items together is $1.10:
$$
\text{Ball} + \text{Bat} = b + (b + 1.00) = 1.10
$$
3. **Simplify the Equation:**
$$
2b + 1.00 = 1.10
$$
4. **Solve for $ b $:**
- Subtract 1.00 from both sides:
$$
2b = 1.10 - 1.00 = 0.10
$$
- Divide both sides by 2:
$$
b = \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.05
$$
---
#### Final Answer:
The **ball costs $0.05** (or **5 cents**).
This makes the bat cost $1.05, and together they sum to:
$$
0.05 + 1.05 = 1.10
$$
which matches the given total.
---
#### Common Mistake to Avoid:
Some might mistakenly assume the ball is $0.10 because "the bat costs a dollar more," but this ignores that the **difference** between the two items is $1.00, not the total. The correct approach involves setting up an equation where both the prices and their difference are accounted for.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_S
To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.
---
#### **Step 1: Define Variables**
Let the cost of the **ball** be $ x $ dollars.
Since the **bat** is $1.00 more expensive than the ball, its cost is $ x + 1.00 $ dollars.
---
#### **Step 2: Set Up the Equation**
The total cost of both items together is $1.10:
$$
\text{Ball} + \text{Bat} = 1.10 \\
x + (x + 1.00) = 1.10
$$
---
#### **Step 3: Simplify the Equation**
Combine like terms:
$$
2x + 1.00 = 1.10
$$
Subtract $1.00 from both sides:
$$
2x = 1.10 - 1.00 \\
2x = 0.10
$$
Divide by 2:
$$
x = \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.05
$$

#### **Step 4: Find the Cost of the Bat**
Now that we know $ x = 0.05 $, the cost of the bat is:
$$
x + 1.00 = 0.05 + 1.00 = 1.05
$$
---
#### **Step 5: Verify the Solution**
- Ball: \$0.05
- Bat: \$1.05
- Total: $ 0.05 + 1.05 = 1.10 $
This matches the total cost given in the problem, and the bat is exactly \$1.00 more than the ball.
---
#### **Final Answer**
The **ball costs \$0.05** (or **5 cents**).
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_M
To solve this problem, let's define variables and set up an equation based on the information provided:
### Step 1: Define Variables
Let:
- **x** = cost of the ball (in dollars)
- Then the bat costs **x + $1.00**, since it is $1.00 more expensive than the ball.
#### Step 2: Set Up the Equation
The total cost of both items is given as $1.10:
$$
\text{Ball} + \text{Bat} = 1.10
$$
Substitute the expressions for the ball and bat:
$$
x + (x + 1.00) = 1.10
$$
#### Step 3: Simplify and Solve
Combine like terms:
$$
2x + 1.00 = 1.10
$$
Subtract $1.00 from both sides:
$$
2x = 1.10 - 1.00
$$
$$
2x = 0.10
$$
Divide by 2:
$$
x = \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.05
$$
#### Step 4: Interpret the Result
- The **ball costs $0.05**.
- The **bat costs $1.00 + $0.05 = $1.05**.
- Together, they total $0.05 + $1.05 = **$1.10**, which matches the given condition.
#### Final Answer
The ball costs **$0.05**.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_S
The ball costs **$0.05** (5 cents). Here's the step-by-step reasoning:
1. **Define Variables**:
Let the cost of the ball be $ x $.
Since the bat is $1.00 more expensive than the ball, its cost is $ x + 1.00 $.
2. **Set Up the Equation**:
The total cost of the bat and ball is $1.10:
$$
x \ (\text{ball}) + (x + 1.00) \ (\text{bat}) = 1.10
$$
3. **Simplify the Equation**:
Combine like terms:
$$
2x + 1.00 = 1.10
$$
4. **Solve for $ x $**:
Subtract 1.00 from both sides:
$$
2x = 0.10
$$
Divide by 2:
$$
x = 0.05
$$
5. **Verify the Solution**:
- Ball costs $0.05.
- Bat costs $0.05 + $1.00 = $1.05.
- Total: $0.05 + $1.05 = $1.10 (matches the given total).
**Answer**: The ball costs **$0.05**.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_M
To determine the cost of the ball, we start by defining variables:
- Let **x** represent the cost of the ball in dollars.
- The bat costs **$1.00 more than the ball**, so its cost is **x + $1.00**.
The total combined cost of the bat and ball is given as **$1.10**. This gives us the equation:
$$
x + (x + 1.00) = 1.10
$$
#### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Combine like terms:
$$
2x + 1.00 = 1.10
$$
2. Subtract **$1.00** from both sides to isolate the variable term:
$$
2x = 1.10 - 1.00
$$
$$
2x = 0.10
$$
3. Divide both sides by **2** to solve for **x**:
$$
x = \frac{0.10}{2}
$$
$$
x = 0.05
$$
#### Final Answer:
The ball costs **$0.05** (or **5 cents**).
#### Verification:
- Ball: **$0.05**
- Bat: **$0.05 + $1.00 = $1.05**
- Total: **$0.05 + $1.05 = $1.10**
This satisfies the conditions of the problem, confirming that the ball costs **$0.05**.
**Answer:** The ball costs **$0.05**.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q6_K
To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step:
---
#### **Step 1: Define Variables**
Let the cost of the ball be **x** dollars.
Since the bat costs **$1.00 more than the ball**, its cost is:
$$
\text{Bat} = x + 1.00
$$
---
#### **Step 2: Set Up the Equation**
The total cost of the bat and the ball is $1.10, so we write:
$$
x \ (\text{ball}) + (x + 1.00) \ (\text{bat}) = 1.10
$$
Simplify the equation:
$$
x + x + 1.00 = 1.10 \\
2x + 1.00 = 1.10
$$
---
#### **Step 3: Solve for x**
Subtract $1.00 from both sides:
$$
2x = 1.10 - 1.00 \\
2x = 0.10
$$
Divide both sides by 2:
$$
x = \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.05
$$
---
#### **Step 4: Verify the Solution**
- Ball costs $0.05.
- Bat costs $0.05 + $1.00 = $1.05.
- Total cost: $0.05 + $1.05 = **$1.10** ✅
This confirms that the solution is consistent with the problem statement.
---
#### **Final Answer**
The ball costs **$0.05**, or **5 cents**.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q8_0
To solve this problem, we need to determine the cost of the ball given two conditions:
1. **The total cost** of the bat and the ball is **$1.10**.
2. **The bat costs $1.00 more** than the ball.
---
#### Step 1: Define Variables
Let:
- The cost of the **ball** be $ x $ dollars.
- Then, the cost of the **bat** would be $ x + 1 $ dollars (since it's $1 more expensive).
---
#### Step 2: Set Up the Equation
The total cost of both items is given as $1.10:
$$
x + (x + 1) = 1.10
$$
Simplify the left side:
$$
2x + 1 = 1.10
$$
---
#### Step 3: Solve for $ x $
Subtract 1 from both sides:
$$
2x = 1.10 - 1 \\
2x = 0.10
$$
Now divide by 2:
$$
x = \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.05
$$
---
#### Step 4: Interpret the Result
- The **ball** costs $ x = 0.05 $, or **$0.05 (five cents)**.
- The **bat** costs $ x + 1 = 0.05 + 1 = 1.05 $, or **$1.05**.
---
#### Step 5: Verify the Solution
Check that the total matches:
$$
\text{Ball} + \text{Bat} = 0.05 + 1.05 = 1.10
$$
✅ The solution satisfies both conditions of the problem.
---
#### Final Answer:
**The ball costs $0.05 (five cents).**

### 3. _"Explain the difference between Type I and Type II errors in statistics. Provide a real-world example where each type could occur."_
**Purpose:** Assesses technical understanding, clarity of explanation, and application to real contexts.
The temperature was set to 0.3. Everything else was left at the default settings.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q2_K
In statistics, **Type I and Type II errors** are distinct mistakes in hypothesis testing:
- **Type I error (False Positive)**: Rejecting a true null hypothesis. This means concluding an effect or difference exists when it does not (e.g., claiming a drug is effective when it isn't).
- **Type II error (False Negative)**: Failing to reject a false null hypothesis. This means concluding an effect or difference does not exist when it actually does (e.g., claiming a drug is ineffective when it is).
#### Real-World Example:
**Medical Testing**:
Suppose a test checks if a new drug reduces heart disease risk. The **null hypothesis** is "the drug has no effect."
- A **Type I error** would occur if the test falsely claims the drug is effective (false positive) when it isn't.
- A **Type II error** would occur if the test fails to detect the drug's effectiveness (false negative) when it actually does.
#### Legal System Analogy:
In a court case, where the **null hypothesis** is "the defendant is innocent":
- A **Type I error** would be convicting an innocent person (false positive).
- A **Type II error** would be acquitting a guilty person (false negative).
These errors reflect the inherent trade-offs in statistical testing: Type I and Type II errors are mutually exclusive but not necessarily equally costly. The choice of significance level (α) and power (1 - β) determines which type is prioritized.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_S
**Type I and Type II Errors in Statistics**
In hypothesis testing, **Type I and Type II errors** represent two distinct kinds of mistakes that can occur when making decisions based on statistical evidence. Here's a breakdown:
---
#### **1. Type I Error (False Positive)**
- **Definition**: Rejecting a true null hypothesis (i.e., concluding there is an effect or difference when none actually exists).
- **Probability**: Denoted by **α** (alpha), the significance level chosen for the test.
- **Real-World Example**:
A medical test for a disease might incorrectly diagnose a healthy person as having the disease. This would mean the test "found" an effect (the disease) that isn’t real, leading to unnecessary treatment or anxiety.
---
#### **2. Type II Error (False Negative)**
- **Definition**: Failing to reject a false null hypothesis (i.e., not detecting an effect or difference that actually exists).
- **Probability**: Denoted by **β** (beta), the probability of not rejecting a false null hypothesis.
- **Real-World Example**:
A security system might fail to detect a real threat (e.g., a fire) because its sensors malfunctioned. The system incorrectly concludes there is no danger, leading to catastrophic consequences.
---
#### **Key Difference**
| Error Type | Decision Made | Consequence |
|------------|----------------|--------------|
| **Type I** | Reject a true null hypothesis | False positive (e.g., convicting an innocent person) |
| **Type II** | Fail to reject a false null hypothesis | False negative (e.g., letting a guilty person go free) |
---
#### **Summary**
- **Type I errors** are about "overreacting" to chance, while **Type II errors** are about "underreacting" to actual threats.
- Both errors highlight the trade-off between sensitivity (detecting true effects) and specificity (avoiding false alarms). In practice, researchers often prioritize minimizing Type I errors (e.g., using strict significance levels like α = 0.05), but this can increase the risk of Type II errors. Balancing these depends on the context and consequences of each error.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_M
**Type I and Type II Errors: Definitions and Real-World Examples**
In statistical hypothesis testing, **Type I and Type II errors** represent two distinct kinds of mistakes that can occur when making decisions based on data. Here's how they differ:
---
#### **1. Type I Error (False Positive)**
- **Definition**: Rejecting a true null hypothesis (i.e., concluding an effect exists when it does not).
- **Probability**: Denoted as α (alpha), typically set at 0.05 or 0.01.
- **Consequence**: A false positive, leading to unnecessary actions or conclusions.
**Real-World Example**:
*Medical Testing*
Suppose a new drug is tested for effectiveness against a disease. The null hypothesis is "the drug has no effect."
- If the test incorrectly concludes the drug works (when it does not), this is a **Type I error**. Patients might be prescribed an ineffective treatment, leading to unnecessary costs or side effects.
---
### **2. Type II Error (False Negative)**
- **Definition**: Failing to reject a false null hypothesis (i.e., concluding no effect exists when one actually does).
- **Probability**: Denoted as β (beta), with power = 1 - β.
- **Consequence**: A missed opportunity, leading to failure to act on a real effect.
**Real-World Example**:
*Medical Testing (continued)*
If the drug *does* work but the test fails to detect its effectiveness, this is a **Type II error**. Patients who could benefit from the treatment might not receive it, delaying recovery or worsening outcomes.
---
#### **Trade-Off Between Errors**
- Reducing Type I errors (e.g., using stricter significance levels) increases the risk of Type II errors.
- Increasing sample size or improving measurement accuracy can reduce both error rates but requires careful balancing based on context.
**Additional Real-World Examples**:
- **Quality Control**: A factory might reject a batch of products (Type I error) that actually meet standards, or accept defective batches (Type II error).
- **Software Testing**: Flagging a legitimate user as a fraud (Type I) vs. missing actual fraud (Type II).
Understanding these errors helps in designing tests and interpreting results responsibly.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_S
**Type I and Type II Errors in Statistics:**
1. **Type I Error (False Positive):**
- This occurs when you incorrectly reject a true null hypothesis. In other words, you conclude there is an effect or difference when there isn’t one.
- The probability of committing this error is denoted by **α** (alpha), typically set at 0.05 in many fields.
2. **Type II Error (False Negative):**
- This happens when you fail to reject a false null hypothesis. You miss detecting an effect or difference that actually exists.
- The probability of this error is denoted by **β** (beta), and the power of the test (1 – β) represents the likelihood of correctly identifying a true effect.
---
#### **Real-World Examples:**
##### **Type I Error Example:**
**Scenario:** A pharmaceutical company tests a new drug to treat a disease. The null hypothesis is that the drug has no effect compared to a placebo.
- If the test incorrectly concludes the drug works (a Type I error), the company might approve and market the drug, risking harm to patients due to unproven efficacy.
- **Consequence:** False positive result leading to unnecessary treatment or overconfidence in an ineffective intervention.
##### **Type II Error Example:**
**Scenario:** The same pharmaceutical company tests a new drug for a disease, but the null hypothesis is that the drug has no effect.
- If the test fails to detect that the drug *does* work (a Type II error), the company might reject the drug, even though it could save lives.
- **Consequence:** False negative result leading to missed opportunities for effective treatment or delayed progress in medical care.
---
#### **Key Takeaway:**
- **Type I errors** are about "false alarms" (overreacting to randomness).
- **Type II errors** are about "missed opportunities" (failing to act on a real effect).
- Balancing α and β depends on the context: For example, in medical testing, minimizing Type I errors is critical to avoid harmful treatments, while in quality control, reducing Type II errors ensures defective products are caught
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_M
In statistics, **Type I** and **Type II errors** refer to mistakes made during hypothesis testing. Here's a breakdown of each:
---
#### **Type I Error (False Positive)**
- **Definition**: Rejecting a true null hypothesis (i.e., concluding there is an effect or difference when none exists).
- **Probability**: Denoted by **α** (alpha), typically set at 0.05 (5%).
**Real-world example**:
A medical test for a disease might incorrectly indicate that a patient has the disease when they actually don’t. For instance, if a new drug is tested and falsely concluded to be effective (when it isn’t), this would be a Type I error. This could lead to unnecessary treatment or wasted resources.
---
#### **Type II Error (False Negative)**
- **Definition**: Failing to reject a false null hypothesis (i.e., concluding there is no effect or difference when one actually exists).
- **Probability**: Denoted by **β** (beta), with the power of the test being $ 1 - \beta $.
**Real-world example**:
A medical test might fail to detect a disease in a patient who actually has it. For example, if a cancer screening test incorrectly labels a person as "healthy" when they have cancer, this is a Type II error. This could delay critical treatment and worsen outcomes.
---
#### **Key Difference**
- **Type I**: "False alarm" (wrongly detecting an effect).
- **Type II**: "Missed opportunity" (failing to detect a real effect).
In practice, there is a trade-off between the two: reducing Type I errors (e.g., by lowering α) increases the risk of Type II errors, and vice versa. The choice depends on the context and consequences of each error. For example, in medical testing, minimizing Type I errors might be prioritized to avoid unnecessary treatments, while minimizing Type II errors is critical to ensure diseases are detected early.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_S
**Type I and Type II Errors in Statistics**
In hypothesis testing, **Type I and Type II errors** are two types of mistakes that can occur when making decisions based on data. Here's a breakdown:
---
#### **1. Type I Error (False Positive)**
- **Definition**: Rejecting a true null hypothesis (i.e., concluding there is an effect or difference when none actually exists).
- **Probability**: Denoted by **α** (alpha), typically set at 0.05 (5%).
- **Example**:
A medical test for a disease incorrectly identifies a healthy person as having the disease.
- *Scenario*: A patient takes a COVID-19 rapid antigen test, which returns a positive result. However, they are not infected. This false positive could lead to unnecessary isolation or anxiety.
---
#### **2. Type II Error (False Negative)**
- **Definition**: Failing to reject a false null hypothesis (i.e., concluding there is no effect or difference when one actually exists).
- **Probability**: Denoted by **β** (beta), with the test's **power** (1 - β) indicating the likelihood of correctly detecting an effect.
- **Example**:
A medical test fails to detect a disease in someone who actually has it.
- *Scenario*: A patient takes a blood test for cancer, which comes back negative, but they later discover they have a rare form of the disease. The test missed the true positive result.
---
#### **Key Differences**
| **Aspect** | **Type I Error (False Positive)** | **Type II Error (False Negative)** |
|----------------------|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------|
| **Decision Outcome** | Rejecting a true null hypothesis | Failing to reject a false null hypothesis |
| **Consequence** | False alarm (e.g., unnecessary treatment)| Missed opportunity (e.g., untreated illness)|
| **Probability** | α (significance level) | β (probability of missing an effect) |
---
#### **Real-World Contexts**
- **Legal System**:
- Type I: Convicting an innocent person (false positive).
- Type II: Acquitting a guilty person (false negative).
- **Quality Control**:
- Type I: Discarding a batch of good products (false positive).
- Type II: Accepting a batch with defective items (false negative).
Understanding these errors helps in designing experiments, setting significance levels (α), and improving test sensitivity (power) to minimize risks.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_M
In statistics, **Type I and Type II errors** are critical concepts in hypothesis testing, which involves making decisions about whether to reject or fail to reject a null hypothesis. Here's a clear breakdown of each:
---
#### **Type I Error (False Positive)**
- **Definition**: Rejecting a true null hypothesis (i.e., concluding there is an effect or difference when there actually isn't one).
- **Probability**: Represented by α (alpha), typically set at 0.05 (5%).
**Real-World Example**:
A medical test for a disease might incorrectly indicate that a patient has the disease when they don’t.
- **Null Hypothesis**: "The patient does not have the disease."
- **Type I Error**: The test falsely identifies the patient as positive, leading to unnecessary treatment or anxiety.
---
#### **Type II Error (False Negative)**
- **Definition**: Failing to reject a false null hypothesis (i.e., concluding there is no effect or difference when one actually exists).
- **Probability**: Represented by β (beta), with power (1 - β) being the probability of correctly rejecting a false null.
**Real-World Example**:
A security system at an airport fails to detect a prohibited item (e.g., a weapon) during screening.
- **Null Hypothesis**: "The item is not dangerous."
- **Type II Error**: The system incorrectly allows the dangerous item through, missing a real threat.
---
#### Key Difference:
| **Aspect** | **Type I Error** | **Type II Error** |
|---------------------|----------------------------------|----------------------------------|
| **Decision** | Rejecting a true null | Failing to reject a false null |
| **Consequence** | False positive (e.g., wrongful accusation) | False negative (e.g., missed threat) |
| **Probability** | α (significance level) | β (probability of missing an effect) |
---
#### Summary:
- **Type I errors** are about overreacting to randomness (false alarms).
- **Type II errors** are about underreacting to real effects (missed opportunities).
Both are trade-offs in hypothesis testing, and their probabilities depend on the study's design and context.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q6_K
In statistics, **Type I and Type II errors** occur during hypothesis testing, where decisions are made about whether to reject or fail to reject a null hypothesis. Here's the distinction:
---
#### **Type I Error (False Positive)**
- **Definition**: Rejecting a true null hypothesis (i.e., concluding there is an effect/difference when there isn't one).
- **Probability**: Denoted by α (alpha), typically set at 0.05 (5% chance of making this error).
- **Real-World Example**:
*Medical Testing*: A new drug is tested for effectiveness. The null hypothesis is "the drug has no effect." If the test incorrectly concludes the drug works (Type I error), it might be approved and prescribed to patients, even though it’s ineffective or harmful. This could lead to unnecessary treatment risks.
---
#### **Type II Error (False Negative)**
- **Definition**: Failing to reject a false null hypothesis (i.e., concluding there is no effect/difference when one exists).
- **Probability**: Denoted by β (beta), with the "power" of the test being 1 - β (the chance of correctly detecting an effect).
- **Real-World Example**:
*Medical Testing*: The same drug is tested, but the test fails to detect its true effectiveness (Type II error). As a result, the drug isn’t approved despite being beneficial, denying patients access to a potentially life-saving treatment.
---
#### **Key Difference**
| Error Type | What It Means | Consequence |
|------------|----------------|-------------|
| **Type I** | "False alarm" – claiming an effect exists when it doesn't. | Overly cautious decisions (e.g., approving ineffective treatments). |
| **Type II** | "Missed opportunity" – failing to detect a real effect. | Underestimated risks or missed benefits (e.g., rejecting a safe drug). |
In practice, balancing these errors depends on the context: minimizing Type I errors is critical in high-stakes scenarios (e.g., legal trials), while reducing Type II errors is vital in fields like medicine where missing an effective treatment can be harmful.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q8_0
In statistics, **Type I and Type II errors** refer to two types of mistakes that can occur during hypothesis testing. Here's a breakdown of their differences, along with real-world examples:
---
#### **1. Type I Error (False Positive)**
- **Definition**: Rejecting a true null hypothesis (i.e., concluding there is an effect or difference when there actually isn't one).
- **Probability**: Represented by α (alpha), typically set at 0.05.
- **Example**:
A medical test for a disease claims a patient has the disease, but they don’t. This false positive could lead to unnecessary treatments or anxiety.
**Real-World Scenario**:
A pharmaceutical company tests a new drug and concludes it is effective (rejecting the null hypothesis that it has no effect) when, in reality, the drug does not work. This Type I error might result in approving an ineffective medication for widespread use.
---
#### **2. Type II Error (False Negative)**
- **Definition**: Failing to reject a false null hypothesis (i.e., concluding there is no effect or difference when one actually exists).
- **Probability**: Represented by β (beta), with the power of the test being 1 - β.
- **Example**:
A security system fails to detect a real threat, such as an intruder, because it incorrectly identifies the situation as safe.
**Real-World Scenario**:
A factory tests its products for defects and concludes they are all good (failing to reject the null hypothesis that there are no defects) when, in fact, some items are faulty. This Type II error could lead to defective products reaching customers.
---
#### **Key Difference Summary**
| Error Type | Outcome | Consequence |
|------------|---------|-------------|
| **Type I** | False Positive | Overreacting (e.g., unnecessary treatment, false alarms) |
| **Type II** | False Negative | Underreacting (e.g., missing a real problem, undetected threats) |
#### **Trade-Off**:
Reducing the risk of one error typically increases the risk of the other. For example, setting a lower α (strictly avoiding Type I errors) makes it harder to detect true effects, increasing Type II errors. Balancing these risks depends on the context and consequences of each type of error.
### 4. _"Summarise the plot of 'Pride and Prejudice' in three paragraphs. Then analyse how social class influences the characters' decisions."_
**Purpose:** Measures comprehension, coherent long-form writing, and thematic analysis.
The temperature was set to 0.7. Everything else was left at the default settings.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q2_K
**Summary in Three Paragraphs:**
1. *Pride and Prejudice* centers on the Bennet family’s estate and Mrs. Bennet’s concern over marrying her daughters off to secure financial status. Mr. Collins’ entailment with Lady Catherine, a wealthy patron of the house, sets up a social alliance between Bingley’s family and the Bennets. Meanwhile, the arrival of the militia in Meryton stirs interest in the marriage market, as Mr. Darcy, a man of high social standing, begins to court Elizabeth Bennet.
2. A misunderstanding by Mr. Darcy leads to an initial proposal that is rejected due to Elizabeth’s prejudice against his pride and her own misjudgment of his character. His letter, however, softens their relationship as he reveals his true nature. A subsequent proposal at a country house leads to the couple’s marriage alliance. Meanwhile, Charlotte, a lady with no fortune, marries for social standing; Jane and Bingley marry due to mutual affection but Lady Catherine’s influence on social class overcomes love in the match of their daughters.
3. The story concludes with Mr. Darcy’s social standing being accepted as a gentleman, and Elizabeth’s family status being matched by Charlotte’s position as a lady. Social class becomes the key to characters’ decisions: Jane and Bingley are married due to mutual affection but Lady Catherine’s influence overcomes love; Mr. Collins is chosen for his entailment with Lady Catherine; and Mr. Darcy’s social standing allows him to be accepted in spite of his initial pride.
**Analysis of Social Class Influence on Characters' Decisions:**
The novel's plot revolves around the social class as a key determinant in characters’ decisions, particularly in marriage alliances and social interactions. Social class influences characters’ choices through entailed marriages (e.g., Charlotte’s decision to marry for social standing) and Lady Catherine’s interest in Bingley’s family alliance. Mr. Darcy’s high social status allows him to be accepted as a gentleman despite his initial pride, while Elizabeth’s family status is matched by Charlotte’s position as a lady. Social class also overrides love in Jane and Bingley’s marriage due to Lady Catherine’s influence. The entailment with Mr. Collins and the elopment of Lydia further demonstrate how social class dictates characters’ decisions over personal affection or financial status.

Ultimately, societal pressures are overcome by personal virtue, as Elizabeth and Darcy reconcile, and Jane and Bingley unite.
**Plot Summary (continued):**
Elizabeth's journey reflects the constraints of a society where marriage is both an economic necessity and a social obligation. The entailment of Longbourn, the Bennet family’s estate, forces their daughters to marry for financial security, highlighting how class determines fate. Mr. Collins, a pompous clergyman, represents the lower gentry's desperation to secure wealth through advantageous marriages, while Lady Catherine de Bourgh embodies the arrogance of the upper class. Elizabeth and Darcy’s eventual union defies these rigid hierarchies, emphasizing that personal character, not social standing, defines worth.
**Plot Summary (conclusion):**
The novel concludes with a balance between societal expectations and individual agency. While class differences initially hinder Elizabeth and Darcy’s relationship, their mutual growth allows them to transcend prejudice. The resolution underscores the tension between love and duty, as characters must navigate both personal desires and the pressures of their social world.
---
**Social Class Analysis:**
Social class profoundly shapes the characters' decisions in *Pride and Prejudice*. Mr. Darcy’s initial pride stems from his elite status, which he equates with moral superiority; however, his willingness to act selflessly (e.g., helping Lydia) reveals that true worth lies beyond social standing. Elizabeth’s prejudice against Darcy is partly rooted in class disparity, as she initially views him as an oppressor of the lower classes. Similarly, Mr. Collins and Lady Catherine de Bourgh exploit their status to manipulate others, reflecting how class hierarchies enforce control over personal relationships and economic outcomes. The novel critiques this system by contrasting characters like Elizabeth, who values individual merit, with those like Wickham, who use their class for selfish ends. Marriage is framed as both an economic necessity and a social contract, forcing the Bennet sisters to prioritize financial security over love. Ultimately, Austen suggests that while class imposes constraints, personal virtue can overcome these barriers, challenging the rigid structures of 19th-century society.

---
**Social Class Analysis:**
Social class profoundly shapes the characters’ decisions in *Pride and Prejudice*, often creating barriers to love and self-actualization. The Bennet family’s financial insecurity—rooted in their lack of inherited wealth—forces them into desperate marriages, such as Charlotte Lucas’ pragmatic union with Mr. Collins. This pressure underscores how social class dictates women’s autonomy, as they are expected to secure their futures through advantageous matches rather than personal fulfillment. Similarly, Lady Catherine de Bourgh’s disdain for Elizabeth and her insistence on marrying Jane to a man of her station reflect the era’s obsession with lineage and status, which often overrides genuine affection.
Darcy’s initial pride stems from his awareness of his class privilege, leading him to dismiss Elizabeth’s social standing and misinterpret her rejection. His eventual growth into humility highlights how class can distort perception, as he learns that true worth lies in character rather than wealth. Conversely, Mr. Collins’ obsequiousness toward Lady Catherine exemplifies how lower-class individuals often adopt exaggerated deference to maintain their place in society. Lydia’s reckless elopement with Wickham, driven by her desire for social mobility, further illustrates how class anxiety can lead to self-destruction.
The novel critiques these structures by celebrating Elizabeth and Darcy’s union as a rejection of class-based prejudice. Their relationship is built on mutual respect and emotional truth, contrasting with the shallow marriages of other characters. Austen thus argues that while social class imposes constraints, it should not dictate the validity of love or individual worth—a message that challenges the rigid hierarchies of her time.

### 5. _"Create a Python function that checks if a number is prime. Then write a second function that prints all prime numbers from 1 to 50 using the first function."_
**Purpose:** Tests code generation, algorithmic logic, and functional composition.
The temperature was set to 0.4. Everything else was left at the default settings.
### Qwen3-0.6-f16:Q2_K
To solve this problem, we will create two functions:
1. `is_prime(n)`: This function determines if a number is prime by checking for divisors in the range from 2 to √n.
2. `print_primes_up_to_50()`: This function uses the first function to collect and print all prime numbers between 1 and 50.
Here's how we can implement this:
```python
import math
def is_prime(n):
if n <= 1:
return False
max_div = int(math.sqrt(n))
for i in range(2, max_div + 1):
if n % i == 0:
return False
return True
def print_primes_up_to_50():
primes = []
for n in range(1, 51):
if is_prime(n):
primes.append(n)
print(primes)
```
#### Explanation:
- The `is_prime(n)` function checks whether a number is prime by checking divisibility from 2 up to √n. If any divisor is found, it returns False and the number is not prime.
- The `print_primes_up_to_50()` function iterates over all numbers in range [1, 51] and collects those that are prime using `is_prime(n)`. It prints these primes.
This implementation ensures efficient checking for primality while maintaining clarity.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_S
Here are two Python functions that meet your requirements:
#### Function 1: `is_prime(n)`
Checks if a number `n` is prime by testing for divisibility from 2 up to √n. It handles edge cases (numbers ≤1, even numbers) efficiently.
```python
def is_prime(n):
if n <= 1:
return False
if n == 2:
return True
if n % 2 == 0:
return False
for i in range(3, int(n**0.5) + 1, 2):
if n % i == 0:
return False
return True
```
#### Function 2: `print_primes_up_to_50()`
Prints all prime numbers between 1 and 50 using the `is_prime` function.
```python
def print_primes_up_to_50():
for num in range(1, 51):
if is_prime(num):
print(num)
```
#### Usage:
Call `print_primes_up_to_50()` to display all prime numbers from 1 to 50. The output will be:
```
2
3
5
7

#### 📌 Notes
- **Efficiency**: The `is_prime` function is optimized by checking up to the square root of `n`, and skipping even numbers after checking for 2.
- **Edge Cases**:
- Numbers less than or equal to 1 are not considered prime.
- Even numbers greater than 2 are automatically excluded.
This solution is clean, efficient, and modular — allowing easy reuse in other programs.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_M
Here's a well-structured Python implementation that includes:
1. A function `is_prime(n)` to check whether a given number is prime.
2. A function `print_primes_up_to_50()` that uses the first function to print all prime numbers from 1 to 50.
---
#### ✅ **Function 1: Check if a Number is Prime**
This function checks whether a number is prime by testing divisibility up to the square root of the number. This ensures efficiency without unnecessary iterations.
```python
def is_prime(n):
"""
Checks if a given integer n is a prime number.
Args:
n (int): The number to be checked.
Returns:
bool: True if n is a prime, False otherwise.
"""
if n < 2:
return False
for i in range(2, int(n ** 0.5) + 1):
if n % i == 0:
return False
return True
```
---
#### ✅ **Function 2: Print All Prime Numbers from 1 to 50**
This function iterates through the numbers from 1 to 50 and uses `is_prime` to print only those that are prime.
```python
def print_primes_up_to_50():
"""
Prints all prime numbers between 1 and 50.
Uses the is_prime() function for checking primality.
"""
for num in range(1, 51):
if is_prime(num):
print(num)
```
---
#### ✅ **Example Output**
When `print_primes_up_to_50()` is called, it will output:
```
2
3
5
7
11
13
17
19
23
29
31
37
41
43
47
```
These are all the prime numbers in the range from 1 to 50.
---
#### ✅ **Summary**
- The `is_prime` function uses a loop up to the square root of the number for efficiency.
- The `print_primes_up_to_50` function leverages the first one and prints primes in the specified range.
- This solution is efficient, clear, and well-documented.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q6_K
Here's a well-structured implementation of two Python functions as requested:
---
#### ✅ **Function 1: `is_prime(n)`**
This function checks whether a given number `n` is prime or not. A prime number must be greater than 1 and have no divisors other than 1 and itself.
```python
def is_prime(n):
if n <= 1:
return False
if n == 2:
return True
if n % 2 == 0:
return False
max_divisor = int(n ** 0.5) + 1
for i in range(3, max_divisor, 2):
if n % i == 0:
return False
return True
```
---
#### ✅ **Function 2: `print_primes_up_to_50()`**
This function uses the `is_prime` function to print all prime numbers between 1 and 50. It iterates through this range, checks each number with `is_prime`, and prints it if it is a prime.
```python
def print_primes_up_to_50():
for num in range(2, 51):
if is_prime(num):
print(num)
```
---
#### 🧾 **Combined Code**
Here's the full implementation:
```python
def is_prime(n):
if n <= 1:
return False
if n == 2:
return True
if n % 2 == 0:
return False
max_divisor = int(n ** 0.5) + 1
for i in range(3, max_divisor, 2):
if n % i == 0:
return False
return True
def print_primes_up_to_50():
for num in range(2, 51):
if is_prime(num):
print(num)
```
---
#### 📌 **Expected Output**
When you call `print_primes_up_to_50()`, it will output the following prime numbers between 1 and 50:
```
2
3
5
7
11
13
17
19
23
29
31
37
41
43
47
```
---
#### 📝 **Note**
- The number `1` is not considered a prime.
- The function `is_prime(n)` efficiently checks for primality by only testing odd divisors up to the square root of `n`.
- This implementation ensures clean separation of logic, making it easy to maintain or modify in the future.
### Qwen3-8B-f16:Q8_0
Here's a well-structured Python solution that includes two functions:
---
#### ✅ **Function 1: `is_prime(n)`**
This function checks if a given number `n` is a prime number. A prime number is defined as a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself.
**Key logic steps:**
- If `n < 2`, it's not prime.
- If `n == 2`, it's the smallest and only even prime.
- If `n` is even (i.e., divisible by 2), it cannot be prime.
- For odd numbers, we check for divisors from 3 up to √n, skipping even numbers.
```python
def is_prime(n):
if n < 2:
return False
if n == 2:
return True
if n % 2 == 0:
return False
max_divisor = int(n ** 0.5) + 1
for i in range(3, max_divisor, 2):
if n % i == 0:
return False
return True
```
---
#### ✅ **Function 2: `print_primes_up_to_50()`**
This function uses the `is_prime` function to print all prime numbers from 1 to 50. Note that by definition, **1 is not a prime number**, so our range starts at 2 and ends at 50 (inclusive).
```python
def print_primes_up_to_50():
for num in range(2, 51):
if is_prime(num):
print(num)
```
---
#### ✅ **Example Usage**
To run the program and see all prime numbers from 1 to 50:
```python
print_primes_up_to_50()
```
**Output:**
```
2
3
5
7
11
13
17
19
23
29
31
37
41
43
47
```
---
#### ✅ **Summary**
- The `is_prime` function efficiently determines if a number is prime.
- The `print_primes_up_to_50` function uses the first to list all primes in the specified range.
- This implementation ensures optimal performance by:
- Skipping even numbers after checking for 2.
- Only checking divisors up to √n.
This solution is both accurate and efficient for small ranges like [1, 50].
