Question 1: Short answer

hardAI-checkedLearning Theory

d2l bounds the test error of a fixed classifier ff on nn fresh examples with Hoeffding's inequality, P(ϵD(f)−ϵ(f)≥t)<exp⁡(−2nt2)P(\epsilon_\mathcal{D}(f) - \epsilon(f) \geq t) < \exp(-2nt^2), and gets its "roughly 15,000 examples" for t=0.01t = 0.01 at 95% confidence by setting the right-hand side equal to 0.050.05. Using the same recipe, how many test examples are needed to estimate the error to within t=0.0001t = 0.0001 with probability 99.9%?
