# Example
Question:
Briefly describe the difference between Decision Trees and Random Forests. Why might you choose Random Forests over Decision Trees?
Response:
Decision Trees are single tree-based models whereas Random Forests consist of multiple Decision Trees trained on different data subsets. By combining multiple trees, Random Forests increase accuracy by reducing the risk of overfitting on the training data.
