Visualize the airline dataset
You will now review the contents of chapter 1. You will have the opportunity to work with a new dataset that contains the monthly number of passengers who took a commercial flight between January 1949 and December 1960.
We have printed the first 5 and the last 5 rows of the airline DataFrame for you to review.
