Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduction

The regression is a method of machine learning under subgroup Supervised Learning. The regression helps to get the relation between the dependent and the independent variables.

The regression equation is obtained by using the given data is used to predict or forecast the values of new data. It can also be used for understanding and analyzing the relation between the variables.
