Plotting the temperature
In this exercise, you'll examine the temperature columns from the weather dataset to assess whether the data seems trustworthy. First you'll print the summary statistics, and then you'll visualize the data using a box plot.
When deciding whether the values seem reasonable, keep in mind that the temperature is measured in degrees Fahrenheit, not Celsius!
