Question: Develop a decision tree model to predict the sale price of a house by using predictor variables, such as number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms,
Develop a decision tree model to predict the sale price of a house by using predictor variables, such as number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, home square footage, lot square footage, and age of the house. As real estate values can differ dramatically from region to region, you may want to develop a model for several campuses in the data file and compare the resulting decision trees.
