Statistics and Data Analysis Quiz

Interpreting Data Visualization

• In a pie chart, 50% of the students are male.
• In a histogram, students are evenly distributed between two age groups.
• In a box plot, males have an outlier for hours studied.

Correlation and Regression Analysis

• There is a positive correlation between hours studied and scores.
• A regression plot with a shaded area represents the confidence interval for the regression line.

Data Preprocessing

• Filling missing values with the mean or median is a preprocessing step to handle missing values in a dataset.
• Dropping irrelevant variables is a preprocessing step to remove columns that do not contribute to the analysis.
• Removing duplicates is a preprocessing step to handle duplicate rows in a dataset.
• One-hot encoding is a method to convert categorical variables into numerical values.

Working with Pandas DataFrames

• To read a specific column from a pandas DataFrame, use df['column_name'].
• To get a summary of the dataset including count, mean, and standard deviation, use df.describe().
• To get the number of rows and columns in a DataFrame, use df.shape.
• The df.info() method provides the data types and non-null counts of each column.
• To drop a column named 'age' from a DataFrame, use df.drop('age', axis=1).
• To read the first 5 rows of a DataFrame, use df.head().
