course机器学习第二周第一节试题整理

第一题
Suppose m=4 students have taken some class, and the class had a midterm exam and a final exam. You have collected a dataset of their scores on the two exams, which is as follows:

midterm exam	(midterm exam)^2	final exam
89	7921	96
72	5184	74
94	8836	87
69	4761	78

You’d like to use polynomial regression to predict a student’s final exam score from their midterm exam score. Concretely, suppose you want to fit a model of the form h_θ(x) = θ_0 + θ_1 x_1 + θ_2 x_2
, where x_1 is the midterm score and x_2 is (midterm score)^2. Further, you plan to use both feature scaling (dividing by the “max-min”, or range, of a feature) and mean normalization.

What is the normalized feature x_1^(3) ? (Hint: midterm = 69, final
