Question 1

You have a dataset showing advertising spend and sales revenue but notice a non-linear trend. How would you proceed with creating a predictive model?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look for curves in your scatter plot.

Question 2

Your regression model shows multicollinearity with a VIF of 15 for one of the independent variables. Discuss potential remedies.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how simplifying your model could enhance clarity.
