Select Model Y because error rates match: Which choice follows that requirement?
Choose the model meeting the required error-rate metric; fairness metrics can involve context-specific tradeoffs.
The question
An education administrator compares two ranking models. Model X equalizes selection rates between groups; Model Y equalizes error rates but produces different selection rates. The program’s stated requirement is comparable error rates across groups, not equal selection rates. Which choice follows that requirement?

- Choose the model with higher overall accuracy.Overall accuracy does not determine whether the required error rates are comparable across groups.
- Select Model X because selection rates match.Matching selection rates addresses a different fairness metric and does not satisfy the stated comparable-error requirement.
- Average both metrics into one fairness score.A combined score could obscure the stated requirement rather than selecting according to the required error-rate criterion.
- Select Model Y because error rates match. ✓Model Y directly satisfies the explicitly required fairness metric, even though another metric differs.
The trap
Use the metric named in the requirement, not the metric with the most favorable appearance. How to remember it
Choose the model meeting the required error-rate metric; fairness metrics can involve context-specific tradeoffs.
