Question 1

Suppose a query has a total of 4 relevant documents in the collection. System A and System B have each retrieved 10 documents, and the relevance status of the ranked lists is shown below: 

	System A: [- + - - - - - - - -]
	System B: [+ + - - - - - - - -]

where the leftmost entry corresponds to the highest ranked document, and the rightmost entry corresponds to the lowest ranked document. A “+” indicates a relevant document and a “-” corresponds to a non-relevant one. For example, the top ranked document retrieved by System A is non-relevant, whereas the top ranked one by B is relevant. 

What is the  precision at 10 documents of both systems?

P(A) = 9/10  P(B)= 8/10

P(A) = 1/10  P(B)= 2/10

P(A) = 1/40  P(B)= 2/40

P(A) = 1/4  P(B)= 2/4
