Produce a summary statistics graph on current_weight, weight_a_year_ago, and height.

INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

Assessment description 

This final assessment is a small individual project involving data processing, analysis and visualisation. The project requires students to demonstrate python data science skills and techniques in data processing and exploration on real-world datasets with consideration of data ethics. 

In this project, you will be given a dataset for data processing, analysis and visualisation.

We will be analysing the BRFSS (brfss.csv) weight vs height data. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is the nation’s premier system of health-related telephone surveys that collect state data about US residents regarding their health-related risk behaviours, chronic health conditions, and use of preventive services. Weight and height have been queried in a telephone interview. 

 

The data for this project: see Filename Assessment_3_data_bfss.csv – USE PANDA to view

The six columns in the data represent: age, current_weight (kg), weight_a_year_ago (kg), current_weight with two decimals(kg), height (cm), and gender, where gender == 1 represents male and 2 represents female.

In this project, you are required to have insightful discovery about the data via initial exploratory and visualisation with the learned skills from this unit.

Prepare a Jupyter Notebook for Tasks 1-3 of this project

The structure of the Jupyter Notebook should alternate texts and python codes and cover topics listed in the following specific tasks. You may use this template to complete and submit these tasks 1-3 of this assessment: 

See FILENAME: Assessment 3.ipynb  - FORMAT TO FOLLOW

Task 1 (10 marks)

Produce a summary statistics graph on current_weight, weight_a_year_ago, and height. [Hint: similar to figure 1 below]

 Figure 1. An example of a summary statistics graph (n.d.) 

Task 2 (10 marks): Calculate correlation

Define weight_change = (current_weight – weight_a_year_ago). Calculate the correlation between weight_change and the following variables, and determine which one is most correlated (regardless of signs of correlation) with weight_change. Use scatter plots to support your conclusion. 

i. current_weight

ii. weight_a_year_ago

iii. age

[Hint: One scatter plot for each variable.]
