Using intervals of predicted probability

In this exercise, you'll make a plot similar to the "Default rate according to model prediction decile" plot from the last lesson. However, instead of splitting the test set into equal-population deciles of predicted probability, you'll use equal intervals of predicted probability. Specifying the intervals could be helpful if a business partner wants to think about potential model-based strategies using certain score ranges. You can use pandas cut to create equal-interval binnings, or custom binnings using an array of bin edges, similar to how you used qcut to create quantile labels.
