1. What do you understand by Data Visualization?

Ans. Data visualization is the technique to present the data in a pictorial or
graphical format. It enables stakeholders and decision makers to analyze
data visually.
The data in a graphical format allows them to identify new trends and
patterns easily.
2. Write the benefits of Data Visualization.
Ans.  It simplifies the complex quantitative information.
 It helps analyze and explore big data easily.
 It identifies the areas that need attention or improvement.
 It identifies the relationship between data points and variables.
 It explores new patterns and reveals hidden patterns in the data.
3. Write the three major considerations for data visualization.
Ans. Three Major considerations for Data Visualization -
• Clarity - ensures that the data set is complete and relevant. This enables the
data scientist to use the new patterns yield from the data in the relevant places.
• Accuracy - ensures using appropriate graphical representation to convey
the right message.
• Efficiency - uses efficient visualization technique which highlights all
the data points.
4. Name some recently introduced Python Data Visualization Libraries.
Ans.  Many new Python Data Visualization Libraries are introduced
recently, such as matplotlib, Vispy, bokeh, Seaborn, pygal, folium, and
networkx.
 The matplotlib has emerged as the main data visualization library.
5. What is Matplotlib?
Or,
What is the purpose of using Matplotlib in Python?

 The x-axis label is shown below the x-axis.
 The y-axis label is shown to the left of the y-axis.
 The legend appears within the plot area, in the upper right corner by
default.
 A grid can be added to a plot.By defaut, the grid is turned off.
 To turn on the grid use: plt.grid(True)
23. What is used of show() command?
Ans.  plt.show() command to show the plot.
 plt.show() causes the plot to display or pop out in a new window if the
plot is constructed in a separate .py file.
 plt.show() needs to be called after plt.plot() and any plot details such
as plt.title()
24. What is bar chart?
Ans.  A bar chart or bar graph is a chart or graph that presents categorical
data with rectangular bars with heights or lengths proportional
to the values that they represent.
 The bars can be plotted vertically or horizontally.
 A bar graph shows comparisons among discrete categories. One axis of
the chart shows the specific categories being compared, and the other axis
represents a measured value.
25. Which function is used to draw bar graph with pylot module?
Ans. With Pyplot, you can use the bar() or barh() function to draw bar graphs.
26. Write the function to draw vertical and horizontal bars with its arguments.
Ans. The bar() function takes arguments that describes the layout of the Vertical
bars. Syntax-
plt.bar(x, y, width, color)
The barh() function takes arguments that describes the layout of the
Horizontal bars. Syntax-
plt.barh(x, y,height,color)

respectively?
Ans. The default width of the Vertical bar is 0.8
The default height of the Horizontal bar is 0.8
28. Write a program to draw four vertical bars.

plt.show()
30. Write a program to draw four horizontal bars.

x = ["A", "B", "C", "D"]
y = [3, 8, 1, 10]
plt.barh(x,y)
plt.show()
31. Write a program to draw 4 horizontal very thin bars.

plt.show()
32 Write a program to draw 4 vertical bar color, using color as red.

y = [3, 8, 1, 10]
plt.bar(x,y,color=‘red’)
plt.show()
33. What is a Histogram in matplotlib?

Ans.  A histogram is a graph showing frequency distributions.
 It is a graph showing the number of observations within each given
interval.
 It is similar to a vertical bar graph but without gaps between the bars.
 In Matplotlib, we use the plot.hist() function to create histograms and
specify the number of bins (range of values).
34. What are bins in histogram?
Or,
What is the significant of bins in Histogram?
Ans.  To construct a histogram, the first step is to “bin” the range of
values — that is, divide the entire range of values into a series of
intervals — and then count how many values fall into each interval.
 The bins are usually specified as consecutive, non-overlapping
intervals of a variable.
 For a histogram, the bins (intervals) must be adjacent and equal size
i.e. the width should be the same across all bars.
35. How the histogram is differing from bar plot?
Ans. Histogram is constructed without gaps between the bars whereas bar graphs
contain gaps between the bars.
36. Write a program to plot a simple histogram of random values.
import numpy as np
y = np.random.randn(1000)
#y = np.random.normal(170,20,200)
plt.hist(y)
plt.show()
37. Write a program to plot a histogram with different formatting and suitable
title and labels and also to save the Graph/plot to the default location i.e.
source file location.
Ans. import numpy as np
data_students=[1,11,21,31,41,51]
plt.hist(data_students,bins=[0,10,20,30,40,50,60],weights=[1
0,1,0,33,6,8],facecolor='yellow',edgecolor="red")
plt.title("Histogram for Students data“, fontsize=15)
plt.xlabel('Value‘, fontsize=15)
plt.ylabel('aFrequency‘, fontsize=15)
plt.savefig("student.png") #Save graph
plt.show()
38. What do you meant by Saving plots?

Or,
Name the function that can be used to save the Matplotlib plots.
Or,
Name the different image file format that can be used to save the Matplotlib
plot.
Or,
What is dpi argument in savefig() function?
Ans.  Matplotlib plots can be saved as image files using
the plt.savefig() function and gets saved in the current working
directory.
 The plt.savefig() function needs to be called right above
the plt.show() line.
 All the features of the plot must be specified before the plot is saved as an
image file.
 If the figure is saved after the plt.show() command; the figure will not
be saved until the plot window is closed.
plt.savefig(image.png,dpi=300)
 Image file format (.png, .jpg, .svg. .pdf etc) based on the extension
specified in the filename.
 dpi stands for dots per inch : dpi=300 specifies how many dots per
inch (image resolution) are in the saved image.
 Example:
plt.savefig(‘plot.pdf')
plt.savefig(‘plot.svg‘)
plt.savefig(‘plot.png')
39. Write a program to save a plot in .png format.
x = [0, 2, 4, 6]
y = [1, 3, 4, 8]
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.xlabel('x values')
plt.ylabel('y values')
plt.title('plotted x and y values')
plt.legend(['line 1'])
# save the figure
plt.savefig('plot.png', dpi=300, bbox_inches='tight')
plt.show()
40. Write the various graph methods used with matplotlib.pyplot modules.
Ans. Line Plot – plt.plot()
Vertical Bar Plot – plt.bar()
Horizontal Bar Plot – plt.barh()
Histogram – plt.hist()
41. How to plot dataframe using Pandas?

Ans. We can plot a dataframe using the plot() method. But we need a
dataframe to plot. We can create a dataframe by just passing a
dictionary to the DataFrame() method of the pandas library.
42. Name the method to create variety of graphs of Pandas objects?
Ans. plot() method of pandas objects.
It allows customising different plot types by supplying the kind
keyword arguments.
The general syntax is:
plt.plot(kind), where kind accepts a string indicating the type of plot,
Example:
df.plot(kind=’bar’)
43. What is an Open Data?
Ans. There are many websites that provide data freely for anyone to
download and do analysis, primarily for educational purposes. These
are called Open Data as the data source is open to the public.
Availability of data for access and use promotes further analysis and
innovation.
―Open Government Data (OGD) Platform India‖ (data. gov.in) is a
platform
for supporting the Open Data initiative of the Government of India.
