UNIT-3
5. There is a Car manufacturer company that has manufactured a new SUV car. 8 CO-4 BL-4
The company wants to give the ads to the users who are interested in buying
that SUV. So for this problem, we have a dataset that contains multiple user's
information through the social network. The dataset contains lots of information
but the Estimated Salary and Age we will consider for the independent
variable and the Purchased variable is for the dependent variable. Below is the
dataset:

Solve the above using knn Algorithm.

UNIT-4
7. What is the use of Support Vector Machine. List the types and explain the basic 8 CO-3 BL-2
working of the same.

For the above given Dataset for weather conditions and target variable Play ,
need to decide that whether we should play or not on a particular day according
to the weather conditions. Perform the following to complete the solution for
this problem:
1. Convert the given dataset into frequency tables.
2. Generate Likelihood table by finding the probabilities of given features.
3. Now, use Bayes theorem to calculate the posterior probability.
