What can you tell me about price, style and material? Explain your answer! (10pts) (Make assumptions about numerical value of style and material. Hint: the SUVs cost consumers as follows: Small SUV $10,000, Midsize $20,000, and Large $30,000, consumer pays following for each material – Vinyl $200, Fabric $300, and Leather $400) I would say that they correlate with each other. Price grows by $10,000 and based on material it grows by $100. Other than that, if we were to calculate overall feature importance Price range: .45-.25=.2 .2/.53= 37.74% Style range: .35-.15=.2 .2/.53= 37.74% Material range: .24-.11=.13 .13/.53= 24.53% Sum of range = .53 We can see that price and style are equally important features for this brands which makes them “hot buttons” and material is somewhat less important. 7.
