Box plot with plt.boxplot in Matplotlib - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

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

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = [7, 8, 5, 6, 9, 10, 4]
plt.[1](data)
plt.show()

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

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

Using plt.hist() which creates a histogram, not a box plot

The plt.boxplot() function creates a box plot for the given data.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to add a title 'My Box Plot' to the plot.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = [3, 5, 7, 9, 11]
plt.boxplot(data)
plt.[1]('My Box Plot')
plt.show()

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

Cxlabel

Dlegend

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using plt.xlabel() or plt.ylabel() which label axes, not the title

Using plt.legend() which 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 display the box plot for multiple data sets.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
data2 = [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
plt.boxplot([1])
plt.show()

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

Adata1

B[data1, data2]

Cdata1 + data2

Ddata1, data2

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing data1 and data2 separated by comma without brackets

Adding the two lists which merges data instead of separate boxes

To plot multiple data sets in one box plot, pass a list of lists: [data1, data2].

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a box plot with custom labels for two data sets.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data1 = [10, 20, 30]
data2 = [15, 25, 35]
plt.boxplot([data1, data2], labels=[1])
plt.[2]('Custom Box Plot')
plt.show()

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

A['Set A', 'Set B']

B['Data1', 'Data2']

Ctitle

Dxlabel

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using incorrect label format like a string instead of list

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

The labels parameter sets the box labels. Use plt.title() to add a title.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a box plot with notch style, custom labels, and a y-axis label.

Matplotlib

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data1 = [5, 7, 9]
data2 = [6, 8, 10]
plt.boxplot([data1, data2], [1]=True, labels=[2])
plt.[3]('Values')
plt.show()

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

Anotch

B['Group 1', 'Group 2']

Cylabel

Dxlabel

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using plt.xlabel() instead of plt.ylabel() for y-axis label

Not passing labels as a list

Forgetting to set notch=True for notch style

Use notch=True for notch style, labels for box labels, and plt.ylabel() to label the y-axis.
