Predicting a students score based on their study hours

Author: Lafir

Introduction

In this project, we will train a machine learning model to predict the percentage of marks scored by a student based on their study hours.

This is a simple linear regression problem since it involves only two variables, i.e. Hours and Scores. Hours column represents number of study hours, and Scores column represents percentage of marks scored by the student.

In this notebook, we will use linear regression class from scikit-learn linear model library for training our model. We will also use libraries like Pandas, Numpy, Matplotlib, and Seaborn to perform exploratory data analysis and gather insights for machine learning.
