Replacing rating with group median

In the last exercise, you replaced the missing values in the rating column with the column median. But could you do better? Yes! You can replace the missing values with the median rating of chocolates from the same company. Let's do it!

There is a predefined replace_missing() function that takes two arguments - a DataFrame group and a column col. It tries to compute a median of the column col and returns it if it is successful. If calculating the median fails, for example, because there are no values, then it returns a predefined value.

The chocolates dataset and the DataFrames and Statistics packages have been loaded for you.
