So we're going to be choosing three different regression models because regression models are used when you want to predict a continuous outcome variable. So what a continuous outcome variable is that it's a variable that can take an infinite number of values within a certain range. So in our case here, we're trying to predict the price of the latte for each of the five top zip codes that we've identified.
