Question: The lasagna data discussed in the chapter is repeated in the file 17_24.xlsx. Instead of trying to classify a dependent variable, Have Tried, this file

The lasagna data discussed in the chapter is repeated in the file 17_24.xlsx. Instead of trying to classify a dependent variable, Have Tried, this file shows the result of clustering. Specifically, a Microsoft Data Mining Detect Categories algorithm (not discussed here) was used, arbitrarily specifying the number of categories as 3. Also, the Have Tried variable was treated just like all of the other variables. Using the results in the Categories_Report sheet, what can you say about the composition of the categories the algorithm found? How might you "name" these categories?
