I was provided with a data file which looks like this:

There are four columns of features and the last three columns are labels that I need to predict.
The exercise involves the following questions:
- We suspect that there's correlation between the 3 labels. Investigate that correlation.
- Can the task be solved by making only one algorithm that predicts one of the label values, after which the other labels can be deduced?
- If so, which label should be predicted by an algorithm and which can be deduced from it?
- What type of supervised learning would be suitable for predicting the selected label column and why?
I feel kinda lost because labels seems to be of mixed type: two of them are floating point values, the last one - categorical.
- How can I look into correlation,
- How do I pick just one label
- What supervised learning would be suitable to make predictions here?
