Basic Data Analysis and Visualization

Data analysis and visualization form the core of effective data-driven decision-making. This chapter aims to equip you with the essential skills to perform fundamental data analysis and create visualizations using Numpy and Pandas. As you progress, you'll learn how to summarize data using statistical measures such as mean, median, and standard deviation, enabling you to derive meaningful insights. Additionally, we'll look into constructing visual representations of data that make complex datasets more comprehensible and accessible.

Throughout this chapter, you'll gain practical experience in generating descriptive statistics and visualizations important for data interpretation. You'll cover making use of Pandas to create various plots, such as line graphs, bar charts, and scatter plots, which help in effectively communicating data findings. By the end of this chapter, you will be well-versed in using Numpy and Pandas to analyze datasets and convey your results through compelling visual narratives.
