Write an evaluation of the two variables you selected. Include the following:
A brief description of the two categorical variables you selected from the database
An explanation of why you believe the variables were created as categorical variables instead of continuous variables
An explanation of whether you believe this is a correct classification for this study (provide a rationale)
