Exercise

From a dictionary of lists

A common way to create pandas DataFrames is by defining each column. This is especially useful if the data for each column is already in a list or NumPy array. In this exercise, you will take data from multiple lists and create a Python dictionary and a pandas' DataFrame.

The following lists are loaded into your workspace:

  • date: dates for each strike, as strings
  • height: the height (feet) at which the strike occurred
  • speed: the speed (knots) at which the strike occurred
  • engine: the engine type for each strike
  • airport: the airport associated with each strike
  • damage: the severity of damage to the aircraft

  • Create a dictionary of lists, strikes_dict, which includes the date, speed, height, engine, airport, and damage data.
  • Each key in the dictionary should be named the same as the variable name, except capitalized.
