Exercise 3
• Find the age of the oldest Titanic passenger.

• Check: You should get 80.

max(df['age'])

80.0

Exercise 4
• Get the record of the oldest passenger.

• Check: The passenger was a male, embarked in Southampton, traveled in the first
class and survived.
df[df['age']==max(df['age'])]

Exercise 5
• Create a DataFrame with records of the 5 oldest females.

• Check: The ages of the women should be: 63, 63, 62, 60, and 58.

df5 = df[(df['sex']=='female' )].sort_values(by='age',

Exercise 6
• Find the record of the oldest female who did not survive.

• Check: She was 57, embarked in Southampton and traveled in the second class.
df[(df['sex']=='female' ) & (df['survived']==0)].sort_values(by='age',

Exercise 7
• Find the number of people who survived the sinking and the number of people who
died.

• Check: 342 survived, 549 died.

print(df['survived'].sum(),len(df['survived']) - df['survived'].sum())

342 549

Exercise 8
• What was the average age of people who survived?

• Check: 28.34 years.

df[df['survived']==1]['age'].mean()

28.343689655172415

Exercise 9
• There were three classes of passengers aboard Titanic: “First”, “Second” and “Third”.
Compute what fraction of passengers traveling in each class survived.

• Check: First: 0.629, Second: 0.473, Third: 0.242.

class_groups = df.groupby('class')
class_groups['survived'].sum() / class_groups['survived'].count()
