    I added this small dataset with a higher noise value for weighted testing. 
It's necessary because when we test oversampling vs weighting, we need the 
noise to be high enough that the model learns incorrect coefficients when the 
weights are not applied. The coefficients used to generate each point are the 
same, but some points are emphasized more with weights. This dataset needs to 
be small enough and have enough noise that it doesn't still learn the true 
coefficients when the weights are not applied, if that makes sense.
