Dakota Fitzpatrick · Answer 1

Classification

Explanation:

Building a machine learning solution that can predict the success of a student in completing a college degree is a binary problem. There are two possible answer: success or not success.

This brings us to a supervised machine learning problem, where one trains the technique with labeled data whether it is a success or not. Since the target variable is discrete (not continuous), classification technique has to be used.
