The Decision Tree => Attended Bootcamp?

[930, 41] => [Not Attended Yet, Attended]

 Multivariate Regressions
Y = 0 + 1X1 + 2X2 + + n*Xn

i.e.
(A x Commute Time) + (B x Expected Earning) + (C x Hours of Learning)
+ (D x Income) + (E x Months of Programming) + (F x Student Debt Owe)
= $ Money Paid for Programming

1. Commute Time
2. Expected Earning Money Paid For
3. Hours Learning Learning
4. Income Programming
5. Months of Programming (how much $)
6. Student Debt Owe
 Ranges from 0 - 1.
The 0 = not variation is explained
1 = all variation is explained
Result: So.
