What is the risk?

You are preparing a dataset for machine learning training. The dataset contains a list of taxi trips in New York city. One of the data columns is called ‘payment_type’ and contains a 1 for cash payments or 2 for credit card payments.

You decide to load this column directly without any data processing.

What are the risks of this approach?

Choose all correct answers from the options below.

I'm sorry, your answers are not correct.

There is no risk. You can import this column without any preprocessing is incorrect. Some machine learning algorithms prioritize large numbers and might conclude that credit card payments are twice as important as cash payments.
The model will not be able to treat cash and credit card payments as two independent variables is correct
The model might conclude that a cash payment is twice as important as a credit card payment is incorrect. It's the other way round. Some machine learning algorithms prioritize large numbers and might conclude that credit card payments are twice as important as cash payments.
The model might conclude that a credit card payment is twice as important as a cash payment is correct
