They reported some basic information about each of the vehicles and the results of some tests c o 9 t e d by their staff. told the b&d -and nage of each vehicle, its , e.. -1price and whe er it had transmission. They reported the vehicle's fuel economy (in m~lesper of seconds to go from zero to 60 mph), and its braking distance (in feet) to stop from 60 mph. a) List the yar.iables and indicate whether each variable.-is categorical or quantitative.
