Solution

False. Precision and recall are not inversely proportional. They are two different metrics used in statistics and machine learning. Precision measures the percentage of correctly predicted positive observations out of the total predicted positives. Recall, on the other hand, measures the percentage of correctly predicted positive observations out of the total actual positives. They can both be high or low independently.
