Question 2 An insurance company uses statistical learning to perform a risk analysis on a new short-term insurance product that covers the theft of vehicles. Recall that the banking and insurance industry is highly regulated, and they need to justify why a client has higher premiums or is rejected. Is the company more likely to use a tree-based model or a neural network to model this risk process? Substantiate your answer. (You can use the statistical flow chart in the Unit 3 notes for guidance, as well as what you know of the industry).

For 25 years, Arthur Reynolds and Judy Temple tracked more than 1,400 children who participated in a publicly funded early childhood development program beginning at age 3. They found that children who participated in the program showed higher levels of educational attainment, socioeconomic status, and job skills, as well as lower rates of substance abuse, felony arrest, and incarceration, than those who did not receive school-based early education. One possible theory for the success of this program is that improving school readiness improved the children's success in school. The improved success in school in turn improved their readiness for adulthood, resulting in increased job skills and socioeconomic status as well as lower rates of substance abuse.

A research article on the effect of multitasking on grade performance describes an experiment in which 62 undergraduate business students were randomly assigned to one of two experimental groups. Students in one group were asked to listen to a lecture but were told that they were permitted to use cell phones to send text messages during the lecture. Students in the second group listened to the same lecture but were not permitted to send text messages. Afterwards, students in both groups took a quiz on material covered in the lecture. Data from this experiment are summarized in the accompanying table.
