Introduction
This document contains exercises designed to help you practice data analysis using
pandas. Each exercise includes tasks that involve data exploration, cleaning, manip-
ulation, and visualization. The datasets can be downloaded from the provided links.

Exercise 1: Exploring and Analyzing the Titanic Dataset


Dataset: Titanic Dataset (Download train.csv).

Tasks:

1. Loading Data:

• Load the dataset into a pandas DataFrame.


• Display the first 10 rows and check the data types of each column.

2. Basic Exploration:

• Calculate the number of rows and columns.


• Identify columns with missing values and their proportions.
• Generate descriptive statistics for numerical and categorical columns.

3. Data Cleaning:

• Replace missing Age values with the median age.


• Fill missing Embarked values with the most frequent port.
• Drop the Cabin column.

4. Feature Engineering:

• Create a column FamilySize as the sum of SibSp and Parch.


• Create a binary column IsAlone (1 if the passenger was alone, 0 otherwise).

5. Exploratory Data Analysis:

• Compute survival rates overall and by Pclass.

1
• Analyze survival rates by gender (Sex) and embarkation port (Embarked).
• Create a pivot table showing survival rates by Pclass and Sex.

6. Visualizations:

• Plot the distribution of passenger ages.


• Create a bar chart showing survival rates by Pclass.
• Visualize survival rates by gender and IsAlone.

Exercise 2: Analyzing the Superstore Dataset


Dataset: Superstore Dataset (Download Sample - Superstore.csv).

Tasks:

1. Data Cleaning:

• Handle missing values appropriately.


• Standardize column names by making them lowercase and replacing spaces
with underscores.

2. Exploratory Data Analysis:

• Identify the top 5 states contributing to the highest sales.


• Calculate the profit margin for each product category.
• Find the most profitable sub-category overall.

3. Visualizations:

• Plot sales, profit, and discount by region.


• Create a bar chart to visualize the most profitable product categories.
• Generate a time series plot of monthly sales trends.

Exercise 3: Climate Data Analysis


Dataset: Global Land Temperature Dataset (Use GlobalLandTemperaturesByCountry.csv).

Tasks:

1. Loading Data:

• Load the dataset and parse dates into datetime objects.


• Display the number of records for each country.

2. Data Cleaning:

• Handle missing temperature values by filling them with the rolling mean (win-
dow = 12 months).

2
• Remove records with invalid country names (e.g., empty strings).

3. Exploratory Data Analysis:

• Rank the top 10 hottest and coldest countries by average temperature.


• Analyze temperature trends for a selected country over the last 50 years.

4. Visualizations:

• Plot the temperature trend for the top 5 hottest countries.


• Create a heatmap of average annual temperatures for each continent.

Exercise 4: Financial Stock Market Analysis


Dataset: Stock Prices Dataset (Focus on alls tocks5 yr.csv).

Tasks:

1. Loading Data:

• Load the dataset and check for missing or duplicate records.

2. Exploratory Data Analysis:

• Analyze the daily average stock price for a chosen company.


• Calculate monthly and yearly returns for all companies.
• Find the top 5 companies with the highest average closing prices.

3. Feature Engineering:

• Create a column for daily price range (High - Low).


• Add a column for cumulative returns for each company.

4. Visualizations:

• Plot the price trend of the top 3 performing stocks over time.
• Create a histogram of daily returns for a selected stock.

5. Advanced Analysis:

• Use rolling statistics to calculate a 50-day moving average of stock


prices.
• Identify the best-performing sectors based on average returns.

3
Exercise 5: Netflix Data Analysis
Dataset: Netflix Movies and TV Shows Dataset (Use netflixt itles.csv).

Tasks:

1. Exploring the Dataset:

• Load the dataset and check for null values.


• Count the number of unique movies and TV shows in the dataset.

2. Data Cleaning:

• Handle missing values in director and cast by replacing nulls with


Unknown.
• Extract the year from the datea ddedcolumn.

3. Exploratory Data Analysis:

• Analyze the distribution of content by type (Movie vs. TV Show).


• Find the top 10 genres based on the number of titles.
• Analyze content trends over the years (e.g., movies vs. TV shows).

4. Visualizations:

• Create a bar chart for the top 5 countries producing Netflix content.
• Plot the distribution of movie durations using a histogram.
• Visualize the trend of Netflix content added over time.

5. Advanced Analysis:

• Use groupby to analyze the average duration of movies by genre.


• Identify countries producing the highest number of movies and TV shows
in the Action genre.
