REPORT - Assignment 1

This document summarizes a student project analyzing a dataset of 12,000 car entries. The students used Python and pandas to load and explore the dataset. They investigated central tendencies and dispersion, identified and removed duplicate and null values, and detected and removed outliers. Visualizations were created to better understand patterns in the data. The overall goal was to clean the data and gain insights through exploratory analysis using various Python libraries.

I. INTRODUCTION
The students are tasked to investigate a dataset (data.csv) that
contains 12,000 observations with 16 different attributes and
perform an exploratory data analysis. The purpose of the
assignment is for the students to investigate various Python
libraries that may be applied to the analysis, manage typical
data mistakes, and illustrate patterns and insights from the
data.

II. DATASET
The dataset contains 12,000 entries with a total of 16 columns.
Each column describes the various feature of the cars such as
make, model, engine fuel type, fuel type, popularity, etc.

III. . DATA LOADING AND OVERVIEW


For reading and exploring the dataset, we imported the Python
pandas library and utilized its various methods to load the Figure 3: Result using the .info() method
dataset and do an initial inspection of the dataset.
The function.info() and .describe() function is also utilized
during the initial stages of the analysis. The function helped
the students gain insights not just into the number of
observations, and the total number of features but also into the
types of data and the count of non-null and null values.

IV. HANDLING DUPLICATE AND NULL VALUES


Figure 1: The head or the first five rows of the dataset
Many datasets in the real world contain a lot of incomplete
and erroneous information, giving them poor quality. One
form of inaccurate data is duplicated value or when all of the
values in at least one row match all of the values in another
row, that value is considered to be duplicate. To manage this,
the team used the pandas duplicated() to determine the total
number of duplicate values present in the dataset and then

duplicate data.

missing values. Prior to handling the NaN values, the team
