💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing the list name as a string (with quotes).

Trying to pass the pd.Series function itself.

The pd.Series() function takes a list as input to create a Series. Here, we pass the variable numbers which holds the list.

Complete the code to create a pandas Series from a dictionary.

Data Analysis Python

import pandas as pd

scores = {'Alice': 85, 'Bob': 90, 'Cara': 78}
series = pd.Series([1])
print(series)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Ascores

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing the dictionary keys or values as a list instead of the dictionary itself.

Using quotes around the dictionary variable name.

The pd.Series() function can take a dictionary to create a Series where keys become the index and values become the data.

Fix the error in the code to create a Series from a list with custom index labels.

Data Analysis Python

import pandas as pd

values = [100, 200, 300]
labels = ['a', 'b', 'c']
series = pd.Series(values, index=[1])
print(series)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing the data list as index.

Passing the variable name as a string.

The index parameter expects a list or array of labels. Here, labels is the variable holding the list of index labels.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a Series from a dictionary and set a custom name for the Series.

Data Analysis Python

import pandas as pd

data = {'x': 1, 'y': 2, 'z': 3}
series = pd.Series([1], name=[2])
print(series)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Adata

B'MySeries'

C'data'

D['MySeries']

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing the dictionary name as a string.

Passing the name as a list instead of a string.

The first blank is the dictionary variable data to create the Series. The second blank is the name of the Series as a string.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a Series from a list, set custom index labels, and assign a name.

Data Analysis Python

import pandas as pd

values = [5, 10, 15]
labels = ['p', 'q', 'r']
series = pd.Series([1], index=[2], name=[3])
print(series)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Avalues

Blabels

C'Numbers'

D'values'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing variable names as strings.

Mixing up values and labels.

Not using quotes for the name.

The first blank is the list of values, the second blank is the list of index labels, and the third blank is the name of the Series as a string.
