Explanation:
A variable is an element that can have different values, but it influences a result within a system. In the poem above, it is possible to see that the days of the week are different and have different influences on the personalities of the children, in this case, we can say that the variables are the day of the week and the type of personality of a child.
The cases are the places where these variables are established and can influence something to happen. In this case, the variables occur in children in England, which means that they are the cases.
There are some different types of variables, among these types we can mention the categorical variables, which are variables that group and identify people or objects in different classes, well categorized. An example of this can be seen in the poem since the variables categorize children into groups of generous, afflicted, graceful children, among others.
