Hello friends, welcome back to this channel. I hope everyone is doing well. Let's get started with the video. This is the Week 4 assignment of the Data Science for Engineers course. Please watch the video till the end to avoid missing any important content or answers that I might provide in between.

I have worked hard to provide you with the most accurate answers. If you have any suggestions or if you are confident about a different answer, please comment in the comment section along with supporting evidence. This will help us provide the best answers to our subscribers.
