For this challenge, the same housing dataset will be used. However, now it has two features: age and area of the house (columns `'age'` and `'square_feet'`).

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('https://codefinity-content-media.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/b22d1166-efda-45e8-979e-6c3ecfc566fc/houseprices.csv')
print(df.head())

Your task is to build a Multiple Linear Regression model using the `OLS` class. Also, you will print the summary table to look at the p-values of each feature.

If you did everything right, you got the p-values close to zero. That means all our features are significant for the model.

Explores regression techniques for modeling and predicting continuous outcomes using Python. Builds on linear regression foundations to analyze relationships between variables, interpret model coefficients, and evaluate predictive performance on real-world datasets.
