Basic scatter plot with plt.scatter in Matplotlib - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to create a scatter plot with x and y data.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
y = [5, 7, 4, 6, 8]
plt.[1](x, y)
plt.show()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using plt.plot instead of plt.scatter will create a line plot, not a scatter plot.

Using plt.bar or plt.hist will create bar or histogram plots, which are different.

The plt.scatter function creates a scatter plot using the x and y data points.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to add a title to the scatter plot.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [1, 2, 3]
y = [4, 5, 6]
plt.scatter(x, y)
plt.[1]('My Scatter Plot')
plt.show()

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using plt.xlabel or plt.ylabel adds axis labels, not the plot title.

Using plt.legend adds a legend, not a title.

The plt.title function adds a title to the plot.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly plot a scatter plot with red color.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [1, 2, 3]
y = [3, 2, 1]
plt.scatter(x, y, color=[1])
plt.show()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing color without quotes causes a NameError.

Using just r without quotes is invalid for color.

The color value must be a string, so it needs quotes like 'red'.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a scatter plot with blue points and label the x-axis as 'Age'.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [20, 25, 30]
y = [5, 7, 9]
plt.scatter(x, y, color=[1])
plt.[2]('Age')
plt.show()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using ylabel instead of xlabel for the x-axis label.

Not putting the color name in quotes.

Use color='blue' to set point color and plt.xlabel('Age') to label the x-axis.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a scatter plot with green points, label the y-axis as 'Height', and add a plot title 'Height vs Age'.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [18, 22, 26]
y = [160, 170, 180]
plt.scatter(x, y, color=[1])
plt.[2]('Height')
plt.[3]('Height vs Age')
plt.show()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up xlabel and ylabel.

Forgetting quotes around color name.

Using plt.xlabel instead of plt.title for the plot title.

Use color='green' for points, plt.ylabel('Height') for y-axis label, and plt.title('Height vs Age') for the plot title.
