Height and weight

Previously we looked at a scatter plot of height and weight, and saw that taller people tend to be heavier. Now let's take a closer look using a box plot. The brfss DataFrame contains a variable '_HTMG10' that represents height in centimeters, binned into 10 cm groups.

Recall how Allen created the box plot of 'AGE' and 'WTKG3' in the video, with the y-axis on a logarithmic scale:

sns.boxplot(x='AGE', y='WTKG3', data=data, whis=10)
plt.yscale('log')

Instructions

  • Fill in the parameters of .boxplot() to plot the distribution of weight ('WTKG3') in each height ('_HTMG10') group. Specify whis=10, just as was done in the video.
  • Add a line to plot the y-axis on a logarithmic scale.
