Box plots in Pandas - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to create a box plot of the 'age' column using pandas.

Pandas

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = {'age': [23, 45, 31, 35, 22, 40, 29, 50]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df.boxplot(column=[1])
plt.show()

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

Aage

B'age'

C'Age'

Ddf['age']

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using the column variable without quotes causes an error.

Passing the entire series instead of the column name.

The boxplot method requires the column name as a string, so we use 'age'.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to create a box plot for the 'score' column with a grid.

Pandas

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = {'score': [88, 92, 79, 93, 85, 90, 87, 95]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df.boxplot(column=[1], grid=True)
plt.show()

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

A'score'

Bscore

C'Score'

Ddf['score']

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing the column name without quotes.

Using the wrong case for the column name.

The column name must be a string, so 'score' is correct.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to plot a box plot for the 'height' column.

Pandas

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = {'height': [160, 170, 165, 180, 175, 168, 172, 169]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df.boxplot(column=[1])
plt.show()

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

A'height'

Bheight

Cdf['height']

D'Height'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing the column variable without quotes.

Using the wrong case for the column name.

The boxplot method needs the column name as a string, so 'height' is correct.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a box plot for the 'weight' column and set the color to 'green'.

Pandas

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = {'weight': [70, 80, 75, 85, 90, 78, 82, 77]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df.boxplot(column=[1], color=[2])
plt.show()

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

A'weight'

B'blue'

C'green'

D'Weight'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong case for column name.

Passing color without quotes.

The column name must be a string 'weight', and the color string 'green' sets the box plot color.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a box plot for the 'salary' column, set the grid to True, and change the box color to 'red'.

Pandas

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = {'salary': [50000, 60000, 55000, 65000, 70000, 62000, 58000, 63000]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df.boxplot(column=[1], grid=[2], color=[3])
plt.show()

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

A'Salary'

BTrue

C'red'

D'salary'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong case for column name.

Passing grid as a string instead of boolean.

Forgetting quotes around color.

The column name must be 'salary', grid set to True enables the grid, and color 'red' changes the box color.
