Bee swarm plot
Make a bee swarm plot of the iris petal lengths. Your x-axis should contain each of the three species, and the y-axis the petal lengths. A data frame containing the data is in your namespace as df.
For your reference, the code Justin used to create the bee swarm plot in the video is provided below:
_ = sns.swarmplot(x='state', y='dem_share', data=df_swing)
_ = plt.xlabel('state')
_ = plt.ylabel('percent of vote for Obama')
plt.show()
You can use help(sns.swarmplot) for more details on how to make bee swarm plots using seaborn.

Exercise instructions
- Inspect the DataFrame
dfusingdf.head(). This will let you identify which column names you need to pass as thexandykeyword arguments in your call tosns.swarmplot(). - Use
sns.swarmplot()to make a bee swarm plot from the DataFrame containing the Fisher iris data set,df. The x-axis should contain each of the three species, and the y-axis should contain the petal lengths. - Label the axes.
- Show your plot.

Statistical Thinking in Python (Part 1)
Build the foundation you need to think statistically and to speak the language of your data.
Before diving into sophisticated statistical inference techniques, you should first explore your data by plotting them and computing simple summary statistics. This process, called exploratory data analysis, is a crucial first step in statistical analysis of data.
