Activity 6.02 – DataFrame data selection
In this activity, you need to analyze data from this year's survey of Abalone oysters for the National Marine Fisheries Service (the source data can be found in the UCI repository: https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/abalone). In particular, you want to get some summary values for the dimensions of male and female samples in the data, depending on the number of rings in the oysters' shells. The ring count is a measure of age, and reviewing this data provides comparisons to previous years to help you understand the health of the population. The data contains several observations, including sex, length, diameter, weight, shell weight, and the number of rings.
To complete this activity, follow these steps:
- For this activity, all you will need is the
