The binary classification means that either the predicted outcome is true or false, yes or no, 0 or 1 etc… Logistic regression’s main purpose is to classify predicted outcomes.

Based on the above example we can create the logistic regression model. So that we can predict whether a student will pass or not based on the number of hours he studied.
