An automobile finance company analyzed a sample of recent automobile loans to try to determine key factors in identifying borrowers who would be likely to default on their auto loan. The response variable Default equals 1 if the borrower defaulted during the term of the loan and 0 otherwise. The predictor variable AutoDebt% was the ratio (expressed as a percent) of the required loan payments to the borrower's take-home income at the time of purchase. JobTime was the number of years the borrower had worked at their current job at the time of purchase. CredScore was the borrower's credit score at the time of purchase. Below is part of the classification tree the finance company derived from the data collected in the study. Assume they classify those with a default probability estimate of at least .5 as Defaulters. Based on this classification tree, a member of the study sample who had a credit score of 698, had just started a new job, took out a loan with payments equaling 7% of their income, and defaulted would be
A) inaccurately classified as a Defaulter.
B) inaccurately classified as a non-Defaulter.
