EDA of beak length and depth
The beak length data are stored as bl_1975
and bl_2012
, again with units of millimeters (mm). You still have the beak depth data stored in bd_1975
and bd_2012
. Make scatter plots of beak depth (y-axis) versus beak length (x-axis) for the 1975 and 2012 specimens.
This exercise is part of the course
Statistical Thinking in Python (Part 2)
Exercise instructions
- Make a scatter plot of the 1975 data. Use the
color='blue'
keyword argument. Also use analpha=0.5
keyword argument to have transparency in case data points overlap. - Do the same for the 2012 data, but use the
color='red'
keyword argument. - Add a legend and label the axes.
- Show your plot.
Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
# Make scatter plot of 1975 data
_ = ____(____, ____, marker='.',
linestyle='None', ____, ____)
# Make scatter plot of 2012 data
_ = ____(____, ____, marker='.',
linestyle='None', ____, ____)
# Label axes and make legend
_ = plt.____('beak length (mm)')
_ = plt.____('beak depth (mm)')
_ = plt.____(('1975', '2012'), loc='upper left')
