Solution
Note:
For Computer savvy scores, I have assumed that only integral scores are allowed and not decimal point scores.
For Exercise (How often) , I presumed it to be counted in number of days and not as a categorical variable. This might be taken as a categorical variable if the answer to the question was, rarely or very often or other such answers.
