Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to create a histogram of the data list using matplotlib.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4]
plt.[1](data)
plt.show()

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using plt.plot() instead of plt.hist()

Using plt.scatter() which is for scatter plots

Using plt.bar() which is for bar charts

The plt.hist() function creates a histogram, which shows the distribution of data.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to set the number of bins to 4 in the histogram.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4]
plt.hist(data, bins=[1])
plt.show()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using too few or too many bins that don't match the question

Forgetting to set the bins parameter

The bins parameter controls how many bars the histogram has. Here, 4 bins split the data into 4 groups.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly display the histogram with labels.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4]
plt.hist(data)
plt.xlabel([1])
plt.ylabel('Frequency')
plt.show()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not using quotes around the label text

Using a variable name instead of a string

The label text must be a string, so it needs quotes like 'Value'.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a histogram with 5 bins and a title.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4]
plt.hist(data, bins=[1])
plt.title([2])
plt.show()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a string for bins or a number without quotes for title

Forgetting to put quotes around the title

Set bins=5 to split data into 5 groups and use a string with quotes for the title.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a histogram with 6 bins, x-label, and y-label.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4]
plt.hist(data, bins=[1])
plt.xlabel([2])
plt.ylabel([3])
plt.show()

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

Common Mistakes

Not quoting the label strings

Using wrong numbers for bins

Use bins=6 for six groups, and label axes with strings in quotes.
