Student scores bar graph

The school board has asked you to come and look at some test scores. They want an easy way to visualize the score of different students within a small class. This seems like a simple use case to practice your bar chart skills!

In this exercise, you will help the school board team by creating a bar chart of school test score values.

A DataFrame student_scores has been provided. In this and all future exercises where it is needed, plotly.express has already been loaded as px.
