1-Which k value is appropriate for this problem and why? (Again, offer analysis of what you think of an appropriate k value based on your experiments with different k values and the plot using the elbow method.)

2- reassign meaningful names to the clusters (instead of generic names such as cluster_0, cluster_1, etc.) based on the characteristics of the segmentation (Offer your own analysis of what you think of clusters based on those numbers)
