When to Use Machine Learning
Supervised Learning:
If an ML task involves a dataset that contains both the input variables and output variables,
then that task is a Supervised Learning task.
One can train a model to correctly map the inputs to the outputs.
Unsupervised Learning:
If, on the other hand, an ML task involves a dataset that contains only the input variables, then
that task is an Unsupervised Learning task.
One can try to discover the underlying patterns in which the data is organized.

Regression vs Classification
Regression:
If a task involves predicting a continuous quantity, then it is a regression problem
Example: How much can I sell my car for ? – (e.g. N302,000)
Classification:
If the task involves predicting a category or type, then it is a classification problem
Example: Will my students be adimitted into the Masters degree program ? - (e.g. Yes/No)
