Adjusting the whiskers

In the lesson we saw that there are multiple ways to define the whiskers in a box plot. In this set of exercises, we'll continue to use the student_data dataset to compare the distribution of final grades ("G3") between students who are in a romantic relationship and those that are not. We'll use the "romantic" variable, which is a yes/no indicator of whether the student is in a romantic relationship.

Let's create a box plot to look at this relationship and try different ways to define the whiskers.

We've already imported Seaborn as sns and matplotlib.pyplot as plt.

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# Set the whiskers to 0.5 * IQR
sns.catplot(x="romantic", y="G3",
            data=student_data,
            kind="box")

# Show plot
plt.show()
