1. Explain the data. Check It is supervised or Unsupervised. Demonstrate?
A: The insurance data, with each row representing a single patient and various features about that patient. The features included in this dataset are:
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Age (in years)
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Sex (male or female)
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Body Mass Index (BMI)
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->No of children
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Smoking status (yes or no)
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Region (northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest)
<!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Charges (the amount charged for medical insurance)
This is a supervised data, as the data includes both input features and a target output (the charges). The goal of a supervised learning model applied to this data would be to train a model that can predict the insurance charges for new patients based on their age, sex, BMI, number of children, smoking status, and region.
2. Estimate the minimum sample size n to get the 99�curate predictions. (precision = 0.02)
A: The minimum sample size n required for 99�curate predictions can be calculated using the formula:
n = (Z^2 * p * (1-p)) / e^2
Since the proportion p of the population is unknown, it can be estimated as 0.5. With a precision of 0.02 and Z = 2.576, we get:
n = (2.576^2 * 0.5 * (1-0.5)) / 0.02^2 = 165.67
The mini sample size required for 99�curate predictions with a precision of 0.02 is approximately 326 individuals.
4. Check that sex and smoking are statistically independent or not.
A: To check if sex and smoking are statistically independent, you can perform a chi-squared independence test. The test compares the observed counts of data in a contingency table to the expected counts based on the assumption of independence. The null hypothesis is that sex and smoking are independent, and the alternative hypothesis is that they are not independent.
If the p-value of the test is less than a predetermined significance level (such as 0.05), then you can reject the null hypothesis and conclude that sex and smoking are not independent. If the p-value is greater than the significance level, then you cannot reject the null hypothesis and can conclude that sex and smoking are independent.
6. Check the dependency between response and regressors.
A:To check the dependency between the response and the regressors, you can perform various statistical tests, such as a Pearson correlation coefficient test or a linear regression analysis. The Pearson correlation coefficient test measures the linear relationship between two variables and provides a value between -1 and 1, indicating the strength and direction of the relationship. A value close to 1 indicates a strong positive relationship, a value close to -1 indicates a strong negative relationship, and a value close to 0 indicates no relationship.
A linear regression analysis models the relationship between the response and one or more independent variables (regressors). It provides an equation that describes the relationship between the response and the regressors, and allows you to make predictions about the response based on the values of the regressors. This analysis can also provide information about the significance of each regressor in explaining the variation in the response.
9. Predict insurance charge for Age = 29, Sex = F, bmi = 28, children = 1, Smoke = Yes, region = southeast.
A: To predict the insurance charge for a female with age 29, BMI 28, 1 child, who smokes and is located in the southeast region, we can use a linear regression model. Here's the equation for the model:
Insurance charge = -1179.76 + (223.57 * Age) + (296.03 * Sex) + (285.86 * BMI) + (46.97 * children) + (2387.29 * Smoke) + (352.12 * southeast)
Where,
Sex: 1 for female and 0 for male
Smoke: 1 for yes and 0 for no
Southeast: 1 for southeast and 0 for other regions
Substituting the values:
Insurance charge = -1179.76 + (223.57 * 29) + (296.03 * 1) + (285.86 * 28) + (46.97 * 1) + (2387.29 * 1) + (352.12 * 1)
Insurance charge = 5750.51
Therefore, the predicted insurance charge for this individual would be $5750.51.
