WORKSHEET #3: IMPORTING DATA IN PYTHON

4 Date: 12/12/19
Use NumPy to import seaslugs.txt. This file has a text header consisting of strings and is tab-delimited. Import the data as
floats and skip the first row upon import. Use the variable name data_float to contain the data. Print the 10th element.

Execute the following code after successful import to visualize the data. Do not forget to import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.scatter(data_float[:,0], data_float[:,1]
plt.xlabel(‘time(min.)’)
plt.ylabel(‘percentage of larvae’)
plt.show()

Write the code here, as well as the print() output. Submit a copy of the plot through WS3-04: Importing Data in Python (#4).
Code

import numpy as np
data_float = np.loadtxt('seaslugs.txt', skiprows=1, dtype= float)
print(data_float[9])

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.scatter(data_float[:,0], data_float[:,1])
plt.xlabel('time (min.)')
plt.ylabel('percentage of larvae')
plt.show()

Output
[0. 0.357]

5 Date: 12/12/19
Import titanic.csv using pandas. Execute the following code after successful import to visualize the data. Do not forget to import
matplotlib.pyplot as plt.
pd.DataFrame.hist(data[['Age']])
plt.xlabel('Age (years)')
plt.ylabel('count')
plt.show()

Write the code here. Submit a copy of the plot through WS3-05: Importing Data in Python (#5).
Code

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
titanic = pd.read_csv('titanic.csv')
pd.DataFrame.hist(titanic[['Age']])
plt.xlabel('Age (years)')
plt.ylabel('count')
plt.show()

WORKSHEET #3: IMPORTING DATA IN PYTHON

6 Date: 12/12/19
Import battledeath.xlsx and assign this to variable df. Determine the sheet names.
Code

import pandas as pd
df = pd.ExcelFile('battledeath.xlsx')
print(df.sheet_names)

Output

['2002', '2004']

7 Date: 12/12/19
Using the previous import, parse the first sheet, skip the first row and rename the columns to ‘Country’ and ‘AAM due to
War(2012)’. Assign to df1 and print its head.
Code

import pandas as pd
df = pd.ExcelFile('battledeath.xlsx')
df1= df.parse(0, skiprows=[0], names=['Country', 'AAM due to War (2002)'])
print(df1.head())

Output

Country AAM due to War (2002)

0 Albania 0.128908
1 Algeria 18.314120
2 Andorra 0.000000
3 Angola 18.964560
