Current Behavior
Section: Introduction
Self Check Question 3
Link to Code: https://github.com/harvard-edge/cs249r_book/blob/dev/quarto/contents/core/introduction/introduction_quizzes.json#L133
The text currently says:
“Answer: The correct answer is A. A computing system that integrates data, algorithms, and computing infrastructure. This is correct because an ML system encompasses the entire ecosystem where algorithms operate, including data, learning algorithms, and computing infrastructure. Options A, C, and D describe only parts of an ML system or unrelated concepts."
This statement is inconsistent — it refers to “A” both as the correct answer and as one of the parts of the overall scope, which is confusing and incorrect.
Expected Behavior
It should clearly indicate that:
“Answer: The correct answer is A. A computing system that integrates data, algorithms, and computing infrastructure. This is correct because an ML system encompasses the entire ecosystem where algorithms operate, including data, learning algorithms, and computing infrastructure. Options B, C, and D describe only parts of an ML system or unrelated concepts."

Thank you for reporting this issue @tcsqrd. I found a few other places where I made the same mistake. I had manually adjusted the answers to balance the correct options being A, B, C, or D. While editing the JSON files to balance things out, I realized that I did not correctly update the full answer section, which is what you are noticing here. Thanks for catching this.
