Removing categories

Before adopting dogs, parents might want to know whether or not a new dog likes children. When looking at the adoptable dogs dataset, dogs, you notice that the frequency of responses for the categorical Series "likes_children" looks like this: 

maybe     1718
yes       1172
no          47

The owner of the data wants to convert all "maybe" responses to "no", as it would be unsafe to let a family adapt a dog if it doesn't like children. The code to convert all "maybe" to "no" is provided in Step 1. However, the option for "maybe" still remains as a category.
