Graphical EDA of men's 200 free heats
In the heats, all contestants swim, the very fast and the very slow. To explore how the swim times are distributed, plot an ECDF of the men's 200 freestyle.
This exercise is part of the course
Case Studies in Statistical Thinking
Exercise instructions
- Generate x and y values for the ECDF using
dcst.ecdf(). The swim times of the heats are stored in thenumpyarraymens_200_free_heats. - Plot the ECDF as dots. Remember to specify the appropriate
markerandlinestyle. - Label the axes and show the plot. Use
'time (s)'as the x-axis label and'ECDF'as the y-axis label.
