Question

Transcribed Image Text:4. When the Titanic sank in 1912, there were over 1,300 passengers aboard. A random sample of
50 passengers that were aboard is taken. The amount they paid for the voyage and whether or
not they survived is recorded.
A model is fit to predict the probability they survived when the ship sank is obtained.
