Instructions: Sample Operation

In the code cell below, I show a sample report for an operation. You need to have five such operations $($excluding mine$).$ If you use the value$\_$counts$()$ method, it needs to be combined with another method.

Each operation should have a

Description: briefly describe the pandas operation being applied. What is the general purpose of this operation?

Application: briefly describe how the pandas operation is being applied. What is the purpose of applying this operation in this dataset?

Code: show your code.

Interpretation: what insights do you get from the report $($if you are performing operations like data filtering or creating a column, you should explain the output$).$

why your pandas operation is helpful?

Each report should be in a separate cell. Please note that when you describe an operation, you should not copy paste the decription directly from a documentation. Every operation should be executed.

Grading Criteria

Pandas operations described correctly.

Pandas operations applied appropriately. Correctness of syntax.

Interpretations and interventions are insightsful.

Same operations not repeated. $($example: max$0$ function not used twice$).$

Note: the head$()$ and tail$()$ methods do not count as an operation.

$[4]$: # Sample Operation:

# Description: value$\_$counts$()$ method shows the responses for a variable and counts for each response.

# Application: I applied the value$\_$counts$()$ method for the column "havedevice$\_$smartph" to find

## the number of respondents who have a smartphone and those who do not.

# Code

print$($hints $[\text{'}$havedevice$\_$smartph'$].$value$\_$counts$())$

# Interpretation: The report shows that a vast majority of respondents in the HINTS survey own a smart phone.

# Intervention:

# Smart phones could be a great medium for government agencies and health providers to inform the public about cancer.

# These institutions could send messages on cancer awareness to smartphone users given that a vast majority of respondents in the HINTS survey own a smart phone.
