Laboratory Experiments Total : 30 Hours

Part – I
Task 1 : Exploration of Python Modules, Data types and Functions.
Exploratory Data Analysis
Task 2: Write programs to perform descriptive statistics, subset of dataset.
Task 3: Write programs to perform exploratory data analysis: variance, standard derivation,
summarization, distribution and statistical inference.
Task 4: Write programs to find the data distributions using box and scatter plot, outliers using
plot on sample dataset
Task 5: Write programs to plot the data using X-Y graph, Bar- chart, histogram, piechart and
using other plotting techniques on sample dataset
Task 6: Find the correlation matrix, covariance, plot the correlation plot on dataset and
visualize giving an overview of relationships among data on sample dataset.
Model Building, Evaluation and Visualization
Task 7: Write a program to build, evaluate the model using regression for a sample dataset.
Apply multiple regressions, if data have a continuous independent variable
Task 8: Consider a Dataset and perform the following tasks
a) Write a program to identify the column(s) of a given DataFrame which have at least
one missing value.
b) Write a program to count the number of missing values in each column of a given
DataFrame.
c) Write a program to find and replace the missing values in a given DataFrame which
do not have any valuable information.
 d) Write a program to drop the rows where at least one element is missing in a given
DataFrame.

Part – II
Use Case 1: Let us use the built-in dataset air quality which has Daily air quality measurements
in NewYork, May to September 1973. Create a histogram by using appropriate arguments for
the following statements.
a. Assigning names, using the air quality data set.
b. Change colors of the Histogram
c. Remove Axis and Add labels to Histogram
d. Change Axis limits of a Histogram
e. Create a Histogram with density and Add Density curve to the histogram
Use Case 2: Create a dataset or table [‘Smart Phone”] in an excel sheet that stores the mobile
information [price, company name, model, Sale Percent] of five different companies. Store at
least 20 rows. Write the scripts and find out the output for the following information.
a. Maximum price of the mobile of each company
b. Minimum price of mobile of each company
c. Average price of mobile of each company
d. Total Price of mobile of each company
Use Case 3: The Tooth Growth data are from a study which examined the growth of teeth in
guineapigs (n=10) in response to three dose levels of Vitamin C (0.5, 1, and 2 mg), which was
administered using two delivery methods (orange juice or ascorbic acid). Data from the Tooth
Growth Study is available as an R dataset and information about this study can be found by
using R help.

a. How many rows are there is Tooth Growth?

b. What is the mean and standard deviation of Tooth length
c. Which treatment is the best in terms of tooth growth? Derive the findings based on
correlation between Dosage and Length for both supplements.
