Interpreting decision tree

Great job on the multivariate regression model! Now, try meeting your client's need for an interpretable ML solution with a regression tree to predict the value of the fuel consumption (consume) variable based on all other features.

The car dataset and the test_instance variable you worked with in the previous exercise are available again in your workspace. Additionally, the rpart, rpart.plot and rattle packages have been pre-loaded. You will need them to create a regression tree, visualize it and extract decision rules from the tree, respectively.
