(2) h(x)!=f(x) and f(x) = y. [\mu*\lambda]
I am not sure the solution is right. My questions are follows:
(i) Does "h makes an error with \mu in approximating a deterministic target function f" mean Pr(h(x) != f(x)) = \mu?
(ii) Does the probability of Pr(h(x)~=y)=Pr(1)+Pr(2)?
Exercise 1.13(b) : I am not clear what does "performance of h be independent of \mu" mean? Should I consider Pr(h(x)~=y)?
thanks!

Answering your questions (i) and (ii): Yes and yes.
