You want to predict whether your 2011 Toyota Camry will get better than 35 mpg.
You collect data about various cars, and run it through a Logistic Regression model.
Here are the coefficients 0.00000035, 0.0002, 0.31 related to the features weight, hp, acceleration respectively.
When all features are zero, y is zero.
Your car, the Camry, weighs 2100 lbs, has 125 hp and has 9.1 acceleration.
Let's say your threshold for positive class is 0.95.
What's the probability that your car will get more than 35 mpg? Is that a yes or no?
