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
