Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

Recognizing digits from a scan of handwritten numbers using machine learning is an example of classification. Here's a breakdown:
* Classification: This type of machine learning involves categorizing input data into predefined classes.
In this scenario, the input data (handwritten digits) are classified into one of the 10 digit classes (0-9).
* Why Not Other Options:
* Reinforcement Learning: This involves learning by interacting with an environment to achieve a goal, which does not fit the problem of recognizing digits.
* Regression: This is used for predicting continuous values, not discrete categories like digit recognition.
* Clustering: This involves grouping similar data points together without predefined classes, which is not the case here.
References:The explanation is based on the definitions of different machine learning types as outlined in the ISTQB CT-AI syllabus, specifically under supervised learning and classification.
