Python Assignment: Exploring Data in the Kenyan Context

Objective:
To understand and apply Python programming concepts, including data manipulation, analysis,
and visualization, using datasets related to Kenya.

Total Marks: 100

Assignment Tasks

Task 1: Data Acquisition and Cleaning (35 Marks)

1. Dataset: Find a publicly available dataset related to Kenya. Possible sources include:
o Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS)
o World Bank Data
o Kaggle Datasets
2. Data Cleaning:
o Load the dataset into a Pandas DataFrame.
o Check for and handle missing values (drop or fill).
o Convert relevant columns to appropriate data types (e.g., date, numeric).
o Remove any duplicate entries.
3. Output:
o Print the first 5 rows of the cleaned DataFrame.
o Provide a brief summary (2-3 sentences) of the dataset.

Task 2: Data Analysis (35 Marks)

1. Descriptive Statistics:
o Calculate and display the mean, median, and standard deviation for numerical
columns.
o Identify any correlations between different numerical variables.
2. Data Grouping:
o Group the data by a categorical variable (e.g., region, year) and calculate the total
or average for a numerical variable of interest.
3. Output:
o Present the results of your analysis in a clear format (tables or charts).

Task 3: Data Visualization (20 Marks)

1. Visualization Libraries: Use Matplotlib or Seaborn to create visual representations of


the data.
2. Charts to Create:

growth, education enrollment rates).
3. Output:
o Display the charts with appropriate titles and labels.

Task 4: Code Quality and Documentation (10 Marks)

1. Code Quality:
o Ensure your code is well-organized, follows Python naming conventions, and
includes comments explaining key sections.
o Use functions to modularize your code where appropriate.
2. Documentation:
o Include a README file explaining how to run your code and any dependencies
required.
