Qwen3-8B Analysis
Quantisation can subtly degrade performance β 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.

Results
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.
This is a classic cognitive reflection test (CRT) problem. Many people instinctively answer "$0.10", which is wrong. The correct answer is $0.05 (ball), so the bat is $1.05 (exactly $1.00 more).
Why it's good: Reveals whether the model can avoid heuristic thinking and perform proper algebraic reasoning. Quantisation may impair subtle reasoning pathways; weaker models might echo the intuitive but incorrect answer. Requires step-by-step explanation, testing coherence and self-correction ability.

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 β 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 modelβs grasp of nuance, metaphor, and cultural context β areas where precision loss can degrade quality.
π₯ 1st place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_M
Why: β 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 masterβs work.

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., Darcyβs pride, Wickhamβs deception, Charlotteβs 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 β this reveals those flaws.
π₯ 1st place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_S
β Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_S reads like a top-tier literature essay response β fluid, balanced, and sophisticated in both narrative summary and class analysis.
- The summary is concise, chronological, and emotionally resonant β it captures Pride and Prejudiceβs tone and character arcs with precision.
- The analysis is exceptionally strong: it connects social class directly to character motivation (Elizabethβs pride, Darcyβs arrogance, Collins/Charlotteβs choices, Lydiaβs scandal) while still keeping an essay-like coherence.
- The final sentence β βlove and merit over inherited statusβ¦ ideals remain aspirationalβ β is insightful and nuanced, showing critical thought rather than a simplistic conclusion.
π₯ 2nd place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_M
β Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_M is expansive and eloquent β 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 β explores womenβs limited autonomy, class privilege, moral integrity, and the symbolic meaning of Elizabeth/Darcyβs union.
- Very readable, slightly more verbose than Q4_K_S, but beautifully phrased and thematically tight.
π₯ 3rd place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_M
β Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_M demonstrates deep understanding and critical precision β itβs 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.
π₯ 1st place: Qwen3-8B-f-16:Q8_0
Why: β Qwen3-8B-f-16:Q8_0 is the most professional, efficient, and pedagogically strong. Perfect for clarity, correctness, and performance.

- 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 β reads like production-quality code.
π₯ 2nd place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_S
Why: β Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_S is clean, efficient, and reusable β 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 β good for reusability.
- Slightly less elegant in structure (more verbose sectioning), but still top-tier.
π₯ 3rd place: Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_M
β Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_M is well-documented, clear, and accurate β 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 doesnβt skip even numbers, so slightly less efficient than 1st and 2nd.
- Balanced between readability and correctness.

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 ballβs price:
Let the cost of the ball be $x$. Then, the bat's cost is $x + 1.00$. Together, their total cost is:
We are told that this total equals $1.10, so we solve for $x$:
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:
β 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:
Step-by-Step Solution:
Combine like terms on the left side: $$ 2x + 1.00 = 1.10 $$
Subtract 1.00 from both sides to isolate the term with $ x $: $$ 2x = 1.10 - 1.00 $$ $$ 2x = 0.10 $$
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 β Total = $0.05 + $1.05 = $1.10 βοΈ
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:
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 $.
Set Up an Equation:
- The total cost of both items together is $1.10: $$ \text{Ball} + \text{Bat} = b + (b + 1.00) = 1.10 $$
Simplify the Equation: $$ 2b + 1.00 = 1.10 $$
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: 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:
Step 3: Simplify the Equation
Combine like terms:
Subtract $1.00 from both sides:
Divide by 2:
Step 4: Find the Cost of the Bat
Now that we know $ x = 0.05 $, the cost of the bat is:
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: Substitute the expressions for the ball and bat:
Step 3: Simplify and Solve
Combine like terms: Subtract $1.00 from both sides: Divide by 2:
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:
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 $.
Set Up the Equation: The total cost of the bat and ball is $1.10: $$ x \ (\text{ball}) + (x + 1.00) \ (\text{bat}) = 1.10 $$
Simplify the Equation: Combine like terms: $$ 2x + 1.00 = 1.10 $$
Solve for $ x $: Subtract 1.00 from both sides: $$ 2x = 0.10 $$ Divide by 2: $$ x = 0.05 $$
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:
Step-by-Step Solution:
Combine like terms: $$ 2x + 1.00 = 1.10 $$
Subtract $1.00 from both sides to isolate the variable term: $$ 2x = 1.10 - 1.00 $$ $$ 2x = 0.10 $$
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:
Step 2: Set Up the Equation
The total cost of the bat and the ball is $1.10, so we write:
Simplify the equation:
Step 3: Solve for x
Subtract $1.00 from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
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 β
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:
- The total cost of the bat and the ball is $1.10.
- 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:
Simplify the left side:
Step 3: Solve for $ x $
Subtract 1 from both sides:
Now divide by 2:
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:
β 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 (Ξ±) and power (1 - Ξ²) 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 Ξ± (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 isnβt 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 Ξ² (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 Ξ± = 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 Ξ± (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 Ξ² (beta), with power = 1 - Ξ².
- 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:
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 isnβt one.
- The probability of committing this error is denoted by Ξ± (alpha), typically set at 0.05 in many fields.
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 Ξ² (beta), and the power of the test (1 β Ξ²) 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 Ξ± and Ξ² 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 Ξ± (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 donβt. For instance, if a new drug is tested and falsely concluded to be effective (when it isnβt), 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 Ξ² (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 Ξ±) 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.

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 Ξ± (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 Ξ² (beta), with the test's power (1 - Ξ²) 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 | Ξ± (significance level) | Ξ² (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 (Ξ±), 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 Ξ± (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 donβt.
- 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 Ξ² (beta), with power (1 - Ξ²) 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 | Ξ± (significance level) | Ξ² (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 Ξ± (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 itβs 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 Ξ² (beta), with the "power" of the test being 1 - Ξ² (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 isnβt 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" β claiming an effect exists when it doesn't. | Overly cautious decisions (e.g., approving ineffective treatments). |
Type II | "Missed opportunity" β 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 Ξ± (alpha), typically set at 0.05.
- Example: A medical test for a disease claims a patient has the disease, but they donβt. 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 Ξ² (beta), with the power of the test being 1 - Ξ².
- 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 Ξ± (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.

Qwen3-8B-f16:Q2_K
Summary in Three Paragraphs:
- Pride and Prejudice centers on the Bennet familyβs estate and Mrs. Bennetβs concern over marrying her daughters off to secure financial status. Mr. Collinsβ entailment with Lady Catherine, a wealthy patron of the house, sets up a social alliance between Bingleyβs 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.
- A misunderstanding by Mr. Darcy leads to an initial proposal that is rejected due to Elizabethβs 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 coupleβs marriage alliance. Meanwhile, Charlotte, a lady with no fortune, marries for social standing; Jane and Bingley marry due to mutual affection but Lady Catherineβs influence on social class overcomes love in the match of their daughters.
- The story concludes with Mr. Darcyβs social standing being accepted as a gentleman, and Elizabethβs family status being matched by Charlotteβs position as a lady. Social class becomes the key to charactersβ decisions: Jane and Bingley are married due to mutual affection but Lady Catherineβs influence overcomes love; Mr. Collins is chosen for his entailment with Lady Catherine; and Mr. Darcyβs 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 charactersβ decisions, particularly in marriage alliances and social interactions. Social class influences charactersβ choices through entailed marriages (e.g., Charlotteβs decision to marry for social standing) and Lady Catherineβs interest in Bingleyβs family alliance. Mr. Darcyβs high social status allows him to be accepted as a gentleman despite his initial pride, while Elizabethβs family status is matched by Charlotteβs position as a lady. Social class also overrides love in Jane and Bingleyβs marriage due to Lady Catherineβs influence. The entailment with Mr. Collins and the elopment of Lydia further demonstrate how social class dictates charactersβ decisions over personal affection or financial status.
Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_S
Plot Summary: Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, a sharp-witted young woman, and Mr. Darcy, a proud aristocrat, whose initial mutual disdain evolves into love. Their relationship is complicated by misunderstandings, including Darcyβs rude rejection of Elizabeth at a social gathering and his secret interference in the marriage of Jane Bennet and Mr. Bingley, which he believes threatens his familyβs status. Meanwhile, Elizabethβs friend Charlotte Lucas marries Mr. Collins, a wealthy but insufferable man, for security, while Lydia Bennet elopes with the scandalous George Wickham. Darcy ultimately saves Elizabeth from Wickhamβs schemes by exposing his villainy, leading to reconciliation and marriage between Elizabeth and Darcy.
Development of Relationships: As the novel progresses, Elizabeth and Darcy confront their biases. Darcyβs pride is tempered by humility after witnessing the consequences of his actions, while Elizabeth reevaluates her judgments of him. Jane and Bingleyβs romance faces obstacles due to class differences and Darcyβs interference, but ultimately succeeds. Meanwhile, Charlotteβs pragmatic choice and Lydiaβs scandalous elopage highlight societal pressures on women to secure advantageous marriages. Darcyβs intervention in the crisisβrevealing Wickhamβs deceitβrestores Elizabethβs trust and solidifies his character as a man who values integrity over social standing.
Resolution and Social Class: The novel concludes with Elizabeth and Darcy marrying, symbolizing overcoming personal pride and societal expectations. Their union defies class norms by prioritizing mutual respect over wealth or status. Social class profoundly influences the charactersβ decisions: Charlotteβs marriage to Mr. Collins reflects womenβs limited options for security, while Wickhamβs low birth allows him to elope with Lydia, a scandal that only Darcyβs high social standing can resolve. Darcyβs initial aloofness stems from his class, but his eventual humility challenges societal hierarchies. Elizabethβs rejection of materialism and her insistence on personal virtue underscore how class constraints shapeβbut do not entirely dictateβindividual agency in the novel.
Qwen3-8B-f16:Q3_K_M
Plot Summary: Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, a sharp-witted woman from a middle-class family, as she navigates love and societal expectations. When Mr. Darcy, a wealthy and aloof aristocrat, proposes to Elizabeth, his pride and her prejudice against him lead to a dramatic refusal. Their mutual attraction is complicated by misunderstandings, particularly after Darcy's secret interference in Elizabeth's sister Jane's relationship with Bingley, a gentleman of high social standing. Meanwhile, the arrival of George Wickhamβa charming but morally bankrupt officerβfuels Elizabethβs distrust of Darcy. The novel culminates in a series of revelations: Darcyβs true character is revealed through his efforts to protect Elizabeth and his familyβs reputation, while Lydiaβs elopement with Wickham threatens the Bennet lineage. 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 familyβs 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 Darcyβs 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 Darcyβs 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. Darcyβs 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. Elizabethβs 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.
Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_S
Plot Summary: Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, a sharp-witted young woman from a middle-class family, as she navigates love, reputation, and societal expectations in early 19th-century England. The story begins with the arrival of Mr. Bingley and his wealthy friend Mr. Darcy at Netherfield Park, where Bingleyβs affability contrasts sharply with Darcyβs aloofness. Elizabeth is immediately drawn to Bingley but resents Darcy for his rude remark about her family during a ball. Meanwhile, Bingleyβs sister, Caroline, attempts to steer him away from Elizabeth, fearing her lower social standing. The tension escalates as Darcy covertly interferes with Bingle, leading to the rejection of Jane Bennet, who is in love with Bingley.
As the story unfolds, Elizabethβs family faces further complications when Lydia Bennet elopes with the disreputable George Wickham. This scandal threatens the Bennetsβ reputation and social standing, but Darcy secretly intervenes by financing the marriage to protect the family. During this time, Elizabeth and Darcy grow closer through a series of letters that reveal their mutual respect and hidden feelings. Their eventual reconciliation is marked by a realization that their initial pride and prejudice have blinded them to each otherβs true character, culminating in their union.
The novel concludes with the Bennet familyβs restored reputation and the marriages of Elizabeth and Darcy, Jane and Bingley, and Lydia and Wickham. The narrative underscores themes of personal growth, the folly of first impressions, and the tension between individual merit and societal class structures.
Social Class Influence on Character Decisions: Social class profoundly shapes the charactersβ choices and relationships in Pride and Prejudice. Elizabethβs initial disdain for Darcy stems from his upper-class status and perceived arrogance, reflecting how class can foster prejudice even among individuals of goodwill. Similarly, Mr. Collinsβ insistence on marrying Charlotte Lucasβa pragmatic decision driven by her lack of alternativesβhighlights the limited agency women had in securing financial stability through marriage. Lydiaβs elopement with Wickham, a man of lower standing, underscores the precariousness of social mobility and the dangers of defying class norms. Conversely, Darcyβs gradual shift from disdain to admiration for Elizabeth reveals how class can both hinder and be transcended by personal integrity. Bingleyβs susceptibility to Carolineβs influence contrasts with Darcyβs eventual self-awareness, illustrating how class expectations can either constrain or liberate individuals. The novel ultimately critiques the rigid hierarchies of Regency society while advocating for love and merit over inherited status, though it acknowledges that such ideals remain aspirational rather than fully achievable.
Qwen3-8B-f16:Q4_K_M
Plot Summary: Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, a sharp-minded woman from a middle-class family, as she navigates the complexities of love and society in early 19th-century England. The story begins with her first impressions of Mr. Darcy, a wealthy and aloof aristocrat, whom she finds arrogant during their initial meeting at a ball. Their mutual disdain is fueled by misunderstandings, particularly when Darcy rejects Elizabethβs friend Janeβs romantic interest in Bingley due to his pride. Meanwhile, the Bennet family faces pressure to marry off their five daughters, as their estate will pass to a distant relative if they remain childless. Elizabethβs wit and independence clash with Mr. Collinsβ pompous proposals, while her sister Janeβs romance with Bingle, a wealthy gentleman, is complicated by Darcyβs interference. The plot escalates when Lydia Bennet elopes with the charming but destitute George Wickham, threatening to ruin the familyβs reputation.
The novelβs second act centers on Elizabethβs journey toward self-awareness as she confronts her own prejudices and learns about Darcyβs true character. Darcyβs secret intervention to resolve Lydiaβs scandal reveals his integrity, gradually dismantling Elizabethβs initial disdain for him. Meanwhile, Jane and Bingleyβs relationship is tested by Lady Catherine de Bourghβs disapproval of their union due to class differences. Mr. Collinsβ obsequiousness toward Lady Catherine highlights the absurdity of social pretension, while Charlotte Lucasβ pragmatic marriage to him underscores the limited options available to women of lower status. Elizabethβs refusal to marry for convenience or status becomes a central theme, contrasting with her familyβs desperation to secure financial stability through marriage.
The resolution sees Elizabeth and Darcy overcome their pride and prejudice, culminating in their union, which defies class expectations by prioritizing mutual respect over wealth. Jane and Bingley also reconcile, while Lydiaβs scandal is resolved through Darcyβs intervention. The novel concludes with Elizabeth recognizing that true worth lies beyond social rank, as her familyβs reputation is salvaged through Darcyβs actions. This ending critiques the rigid class structures of Regency England, suggesting that personal integrity and emotional honesty can transcend societal hierarchies.
Social Class Analysis: Social class profoundly shapes the charactersβ decisions in Pride and Prejudice, often creating barriers to love and self-actualization. The Bennet familyβs financial insecurityβrooted in their lack of inherited wealthβforces them into desperate marriages, such as Charlotte Lucasβ pragmatic union with Mr. Collins. This pressure underscores how social class dictates womenβs autonomy, as they are expected to secure their futures through advantageous matches rather than personal fulfillment. Similarly, Lady Catherine de Bourghβs disdain for Elizabeth and her insistence on marrying Jane to a man of her station reflect the eraβs obsession with lineage and status, which often overrides genuine affection.
Darcyβs initial pride stems from his awareness of his class privilege, leading him to dismiss Elizabethβs 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. Collinsβ obsequiousness toward Lady Catherine exemplifies how lower-class individuals often adopt exaggerated deference to maintain their place in society. Lydiaβs 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 Darcyβs 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 worthβa message that challenges the rigid hierarchies of her time.
Qwen3-8B-f16:Q5_K_S
Plot Summary: Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, a sharp-witted young woman from a middle-class family in rural England, as she navigates the complexities of marriage, reputation, and social standing. The story begins with the arrival of wealthy bachelor Mr. Bingley and his equally affluent friend Mr. Darcy at the Bennet estate. While Bingley is immediately drawn to Elizabethβs sister Jane, Darcyβs aloofness and disdain for the Bennetsβ lower status create tension. Elizabethβs initial dislike of Darcy deepens when he dismisses her during a dance, but she later learns of his secret interference in Bingley and Janeβs relationship. Meanwhile, the familyβs financial instability and societal pressures force them to consider advantageous marriages. Lydiaβs reckless elopement with a militia officer threatens the Bennetsβ reputation, prompting Darcy to discreetly resolve the crisis. Ultimately, Elizabeth and Darcy overcome their pride and prejudice, leading to a union that balances mutual respect and social harmony.
Social Class Dynamics in the Plot: Social class permeates every aspect of the narrative, shaping charactersβ motivations and relationships. Characters like Charlotte Lucas embody the pragmatic realities of lower-class women, who marry Mr. Collinsβa pompous clergymanβprimarily for financial security rather than love, reflecting the limited options available to women of their status. In contrast, Elizabethβs refusal of Mr. Collins and her eventual acceptance of Darcy challenge class-based expectations, emphasizing personal integrity over wealth. Lady Catherine de Bourghβs disdain for the Bennets underscores how upper-class figures wield power to enforce social hierarchies, as seen in her attempts to dissuade Elizabeth from marrying Darcy. The Bennet familyβs precarious financial position also highlights how middle-class status forces them into desperate negotiations with higher classes, such as when Mrs. Bennet obsesses over securing marriages for her daughters.
Analysis of Social Class Influence: Social class profoundly influences charactersβ decisions, often dictating their relationships and self-worth. Elizabethβs initial prejudice against Darcy stems from his perceived arrogance and wealth, which she associates with elitism, while Darcyβs pride is rooted in his upper-class privilege and the societal expectations of superiority. Their eventual reconciliation hinges on recognizing that true worth transcends class, as both characters learn to value character over status. Meanwhile, Mr. Collinsβ marriage to Charlotte exemplifies how lower-class individuals are compelled to prioritize security over happiness, illustrating the limited agency afforded by social stratification. Even Lydiaβs elopement can be seen as a rebellion against class constraints, though her lack of discernment leads to chaos. The novel critiques how rigid class structures force characters into compromises, ultimately advocating for marriages based on mutual respect rather than economic necessity or inherited rank.

Summary of Pride and Prejudice: The novel centers on Elizabeth Bennet, a sharp-witted woman from a middle-class family, and Mr. Darcy, an aloof aristocrat. Their initial meeting at a ball is marked by mutual disdain: Darcyβs pride in his class and Elizabethβs prejudice against his arrogance. Tensions escalate when Darcy dismisses Elizabethβs sister, Lydia, during a proposal to Jane Bennet, leading Elizabeth to reject Darcyβs first marriage proposal. Meanwhile, Mr. Collins, a pompous clergyman, proposes to Elizabeth, whom he views as beneath him socially, but she refuses. Charlotte Lucas, Elizabethβs friend, accepts Collinsβ proposal for security, highlighting the limited options for women of lower status. Lydiaβs elopement with the disreputable Wickham threatens the Bennet familyβs reputation, prompting Darcy to secretly intervene and resolve the crisis, revealing his hidden generosity and growth from pride to humility. The story concludes with Elizabeth and Darcy overcoming their misunderstandings, marrying, while Jane and Bingley also unite, and Charlotte and Collins find a pragmatic union.
Second Paragraph: As the plot unfolds, social class becomes a central theme. Mr. Collinsβ proposal underscores how societal expectations force women like Elizabeth to navigate between love and survival, as Charlotteβs acceptance of him reflects the harsh realities faced by middle-class women without substantial inheritance. Lydiaβs elopement with Wickhamβa man of lower statusβexposes the dangers of marrying outside oneβs class, yet Darcyβs intervention highlights how wealth and influence can mitigate such crises. Meanwhile, Elizabethβs refusal to marry for convenience or status contrasts with her familyβs desperation to secure advantageous marriages, emphasizing the tension between individual desire and societal pressure.
Third Paragraph: The resolution underscores how social class shapes charactersβ choices and outcomes. Elizabethβs rejection of Mr. Collins and her eventual union with Darcy symbolize a triumph over materialism, while Charlotteβs pragmatic marriage illustrates the constraints imposed by class on womenβs autonomy. Lydiaβs scandal and its resolution through Darcyβs wealth demonstrate how class disparities can create both peril and opportunity. Darcyβs evolution from pride to humility reflects his recognition that true worth transcends social rank, whereas Mr. Bingleyβs initial hesitation to marry Jane due to her familyβs status reveals the lingering influence of class prejudice. Ultimately, the novel critiques the rigid hierarchies of Regency England, showing how characters navigate these structures to pursue love and personal integrity.

Summary of Pride and Prejudice: Jane Austenβs Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, the second daughter of a landed gentry family, as she navigates the complexities of marriage, reputation, and social standing in early 19th-century England. The story begins with the arrival of wealthy bachelor Mr. Bingley and his friend Mr. Darcy at the Bennet estate, sparking romantic tensions between Elizabeth and Darcy, despite their initial mutual disdain. Elizabethβs sharp wit and independence clash with Darcyβs arrogance, leading to misunderstandings and emotional turmoil. Meanwhile, her sister Jane develops a romance with Bingley, while the familyβs financial insecurity forces them to prioritize advantageous marriages. The plot thickens with Lydia Bennetβs scandalous elopement with Mr. Wickham, threatening the familyβs reputation, which Darcy secretly intervenes to resolve. Ultimately, Elizabeth and Darcy overcome their pride and prejudice through self-awareness, leading to a union that transcends societal expectations.
Social Class in the Plot: Social class permeates every aspect of the novel, shaping charactersβ opportunities, relationships, and moral choices. The Bennet familyβs lower status as landowners without a male heir creates pressure for their daughters to marry well, exemplified by Charlotte Lucasβs pragmatic marriage to Mr. Collins, a foolish but socially secure man. Darcyβs initial disdain for Elizabeth stems from his snobbery and the belief in his own superiority, reflecting the rigid class hierarchies of the time. Lady Catherine de Bourghβs interference underscores how upper-class individuals enforce their dominance, as seen when she confronts Elizabeth about her suitability to marry Darcy. Meanwhile, Mr. Bingleyβs kindness contrasts with Darcyβs prejudice, highlighting how class can both hinder and enable personal growth.
Analysis of Social Class Influence: Social class acts as a framework for the charactersβ decisions, often dictating their values and relationships. Elizabethβs refusal of Mr. Collins defies societal norms by prioritizing personal compatibility over financial security, challenging the idea that marriage should be solely transactional. Conversely, Darcyβs initial pride blinds him to his own flaws, illustrating how class can perpetuate arrogance and isolation. Lydiaβs reckless elopement with Wickham, driven by her desire for social mobility, exposes the dangers of prioritizing reputation over moral responsibility. Ultimately, the novel critiques the rigid class system by showing how characters like Elizabeth and Darcy transcend it through self-awareness, while others are trapped by its constraints. Austen uses these dynamics to argue that true worth lies in character, not status, subtly dismantling the societal structures that prioritize wealth and lineage over individual integrity.

Plot Summary: Pride and Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet, a sharp-witted young woman from a lower gentry family, as she navigates marriage prospects in early 19th-century England. The story begins with Mr. Bingleyβs arrival at Netherfield Park, sparking romantic interest between him and Elizabethβs sister Jane. However, Mr. Darcy, Bingleyβs aloof friend, initially rejects Elizabeth due to her perceived inferiority and his own pride. Their tension escalates when Darcy insults Elizabeth at a ball, leading to mutual disdain. A pivotal moment occurs when Darcy confesses his true feelings in a letter, revealing his role in separating Jane and Bingley and his past interference with Lydiaβs elopement with Wickham. Elizabeth confronts her prejudices, reevaluating her judgment of Darcy. Meanwhile, Lydiaβs scandalous elopement threatens the Bennet familyβs reputation, prompting Darcy to discreetly resolve the crisis. The novel concludes with Elizabeth and Darcy overcoming their pride and prejudice, uniting in marriage, while Jane and Bingley also find happiness.
Development and Resolution: As the plot unfolds, social pressures and misunderstandings test relationships. Mr. Collinsβ absurd proposal to Elizabeth underscores the economic realities of marriage for women without inheritance, contrasting with Charlotte Lucasβs pragmatic choice to marry him for security. Lydiaβs elopement with Wickhamβa man of lower statusβexposes the dangers of marrying for passion over stability, a crisis Darcy ultimately resolves by financing their wedding, revealing his hidden generosity. Elizabethβs journey from prejudice to understanding culminates in her reevaluating Darcyβs character, recognizing his integrity despite his initial aloofness. Bingley and Janeβs relationship faces obstacles due to class differences, but their mutual affection prevails. The novel closes with the Bennet familyβs social standing improving through Elizabethβs marriage, symbolizing a balance between personal virtue and societal expectations.
Social Class Analysis: Social class profoundly shapes charactersβ decisions and relationships in Pride and Prejudice. Darcyβs initial pride stems from his aristocratic status, which he uses to maintain distance from those he deems beneath him, including Elizabeth. Elizabethβs prejudice against him is partly fueled by her familyβs lower social standing, highlighting how class hierarchies dictate interactions. The Bennet womenβs precarious financial situation forces them to prioritize marriage for security over love, as seen in Charlotte Lucasβ pragmatic union with Mr. Collins. Conversely, Lydiaβs impulsive elopement with Wickhamβa man of questionable moralsβexposes the vulnerabilities of lower-class individuals in a rigid society. Darcyβs eventual intervention to resolve Lydiaβs scandal reveals that true worth transcends class, as his actions prioritize moral integrity over social status. The novel critiques how class expectations constrain personal freedom, ultimately advocating for love and mutual respect as more valid foundations for marriage than mere economic or social compatibility.
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:
is_prime(n)
: This function determines if a number is prime by checking for divisors in the range from 2 to βn.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:
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 βn. 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 usingis_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)

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.
def print_primes_up_to_50():
for num in range(1, 51):
