(upbeat uplifting music) - [Instructor] Here's your next challenge. You're going to determine how to structure a predictive modeling problem using the Titanic dataset. It's the same dataset, we'll be grabbing that from the Originals folder. It's not as obvious as it sounds, and you'll have to run some very brief analyses to solve the puzzle. We're going to have to simulate a bit of what you would normally learn during the business understanding phase. The incredible popularity of the Titanic dataset has a lot of advantages for using it for a short challenge like this, there's so much information out there about it, but it has one major disadvantage. It's from a unique accident, and not from a recurring event. So in a sense, there's nothing to predict. Let's do a little thought experiment using a feature of the accident that we're all familiar with, the lifeboats. Let's imagine that what we're trying to predict is…
