Additional arguments

Let's use additional arguments in the .apply() method!

Your task is to create two new columns in scores:

  • mean is the row-wise mean value of the math score, reading score and writing score
  • rank defines how high the mean score is:
    • 'high' if the mean value \(> 90\)
    • 'medium' if the mean value \(> 60\) but \(\leq\) 90
    • 'low' if the mean value \(\leq 60\)

To accomplish this task, you'll need to define the function rank that, given a series, returns a list with two values: the mean of the series and a string defined by the aforementioned rule.

The module numpy is already imported for you as np.
