Exercise

Reshaping the arrest rate data

In this exercise, you'll start by reshaping the arrest_rate Series into a DataFrame. This is a useful step when working with any multi-indexed Series, since it enables you to access the full range of DataFrame methods.

Then, you'll create the exact same DataFrame using a pivot table. This is a great example of how pandas often gives you more than one way to reach the same result!

Instructions

  • Unstack the arrest_rate Series to reshape it into a DataFrame.
  • Create the exact same DataFrame using a pivot table! Each of the three .pivot_table() parameters should be specified as one of the ri_weather columns.
