TypeError

----> 1 plt.boxplot(X_train, manage_xticks= False)

TypeError: boxplot() got an unexpected keyword argument 'manage_xticks'

Please provide a description to your code!
The error is clear; from https://matplotlib.org/3.1.1/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.boxplot.html, you can see that boxplot() has no argument manage_xticks but rather manage_ticks.

Thanks! That was the problem. I was just copying the code directly from the book tho and the author wrote manage_xticks instead of manage_ticks

That must have been a change in the matplotlib API at some point. I'll keep it open as it needs to be fixed in the book.
