3. Identify one appropriate dependent variable that you would want to predict. Your dependent variable should be either ordinal or categorical. Provide the reasons for your choice of the dependent variable.

4. From the remaining variables, shortlist independent variables (maximum ten variables) for the prediction of your dependent variable.

5. Suggest one analytical technique that you will use for predicting the dependent variable. What will be your major considerations while using this technique? Justify your reasons for the choice of the analytical technique.
