Exercise

  1. In this exercise, we will be using Universities_imputed_reduced.csv. Draw the following visualizations:

    a) Use boxplots to compare the student/faculty ratio (stud./fac. ratio) for the two populations of public and private universities.

    b) Use a histogram to compare the student/faculty ratio (stud./fac. ratio) for the two populations of public and private universities.

    c) Use subplots to put the results of a) and b) on top of one another to create a visual that compares the two populations even better.

  2. In this exercise, we will continue using Universities_imputed_reduced.csv. Draw the following visualizations:

    a) Use a bar chart to compare the private/public ratio of all the states in the dataset. In this example, the populations we are comparing are the states.

    b) Improve the visualizations by sorting the states on the visuals based on the total number of universities they have.

    c) Create a stacked bar chart that shows and compares the percentages of public and private...
