Calculating the hourly arrest rate
When a police officer stops a driver, a small percentage of those stops ends in an arrest. This is known as the arrest rate. In this exercise, you'll find out whether the arrest rate varies by time of day.
First, you'll calculate the arrest rate across all stops in the ri
DataFrame. Then, you'll calculate the hourly arrest rate by using the hour
attribute of the index. The hour
ranges from 0 to 23, in which:
- 0 = midnight
- 12 = noon
- 23 = 11 PM
