Describing the Data

Pandas offers the handy mean() method that calculates the average of all values for each column. Here's how you can utilize it:

To determine the average value for a specific column, you can follow this method:

Pandas also provides the mode() method, which identifies the most frequently occurring value in each column. See the example below:

To find the mode for a particular column, you can do this:

Another useful method in pandas is describe(). Here's how to use it:

This method provides an overview of various metrics from the dataset, including:

  • Total number of entries;
  • Mean or average value;
  • Standard deviation;
  • The minimum and maximum values;
  • The 25th, 50th (median), and 75th percentiles.

Task

Retrieve the following from the dataframe named data_frame:

  • Total entries for each column;
  • Average value for each column;
  • Standard deviation for each column;
  • Minimum value for each column;
  • Maximum value for each column;
  • 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles for each column.

Task

Retrieve the following from the dataframe named data_frame:

  • Total entries for each column;
  • Average value for each column;
  • Standard deviation for each column;
  • Minimum value for each column;
  • Maximum value for each column;
  • 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles for each column.
