Exercise

Missing delays?

The last exercise showed you that there are columns in flights containing missing values. The result of the describe() function is below. You don't care too much about missing values in most columns, but missing values in the departure_delay column are problematic - that's one of the main columns you want to study. 

Row variable             nmissing
