Managing Duplicate Data
Duplicate data is a common issue in real-world datasets. Duplicates can arise for several reasons: manual data entry errors; merging datasets from multiple sources; or system glitches that cause repeated records. The presence of duplicate rows can distort your analysis by inflating counts; skewing statistical summaries; and leading to incorrect conclusions. Removing duplicates is a crucial step to ensure the accuracy and reliability of your data-driven insights.

1. What does the duplicated() method return?
2. How does drop_duplicates() affect the original DataFrame by default?

Can you explain how the duplicated() function works in this example?
What if I want to remove duplicates based only on certain columns?
How can I keep the last occurrence of each duplicate instead of the first?
Awesome!
