Background

The data dive continues!

Now, it's time to take what you've learned about Python Pandas and apply it to new situations. For this assignment, you'll need to complete one of two (not both) Data Challenges. Once again, which challenge you take on is your choice. Just be sure to give it your all -- as the skills you hone will become powerful tools in your data analytics tool belt.

Before You Begin

Create a new repository for this project called pandas-challenge. Do not add this homework to an existing repository.
Clone the new repository to your computer.
Inside your local git repository, create a directory for the Pandas Challenge you choose. Use folder names corresponding to the challenges: HeroesOfPymoli or PyCitySchools.
Add your Jupyter notebook to this folder. This will be the main script to run for analysis.
Push the above changes to GitHub or GitLab.

Option 1: Heroes of Pymoli

Congratulations! After a lot of hard work in the data munging mines, you've landed a job as Lead Analyst for an independent gaming company. You've been assigned the task of analyzing the data for their most recent fantasy game Heroes of Pymoli.

Like many others in its genre, the game is free-to-play, but players are encouraged to purchase optional items that enhance their playing experience. As a first task, the company would like you to generate a report that breaks down the game's purchasing data into meaningful insights.

Your final report should include each of the following:

Player Count

Total Number of Players

Purchasing Analysis (Total)

Number of Unique Items
Average Purchase Price
Total Number of Purchases
Total Revenue

Gender Demographics

Percentage and Count of Male Players
Percentage and Count of Female Players
Percentage and Count of Other / Non-Disclosed

Purchasing Analysis (Gender)

The below each broken by gender
- Purchase Count
- Average Purchase Price
- Total Purchase Value
- Average Purchase Total per Person by Gender

Age Demographics

The below each broken into bins of 4 years (i.e. <10, 10-14, 15-19, etc.)
- Purchase Count
- Average Purchase Price
- Total Purchase Value
- Average Purchase Total per Person by Age Group

Top Spenders

Identify the the top 5 spenders in the game by total purchase value, then list (in a table):
- SN
- Purchase Count
- Average Purchase Price
- Total Purchase Value

Most Profitable Items

Identify the 5 most profitable items by total purchase value, then list (in a table):
- Item ID
- Item Name
- Purchase Count
- Item Price
- Total Purchase Value

As final considerations:

You must use the Pandas Library and the Jupyter Notebook.
You must submit a link to your Jupyter Notebook with the viewable Data Frames.
You must include a written description of three observable trends based on the data.
See Example Solution for a reference on expected format.

Option 2: PyCitySchools

Well done! Having spent years analyzing financial records for big banks, you've finally scratched your idealistic itch and joined the education sector. In your latest role, you've become the Chief Data Scientist for your city's school district. In this capacity, you'll be helping the school board and mayor make strategic decisions regarding future school budgets and priorities.

As a first task, you've been asked to analyze the district-wide standardized test results. You'll be given access to every student's math and reading scores, as well as various information on the schools they attend. Your responsibility is to aggregate the data to and showcase obvious trends in school performance.

Your final report should include each of the following:

District Summary

Create a high level snapshot (in table form) of the district's key metrics, including:
- Total Schools
- Total Students
- Total Budget
- Average Math Score
- Average Reading Score
- % Passing Math (The percentage of students that passed math.)
- % Passing Reading (The percentage of students that passed reading.)
- % Overall Passing (The percentage of students that passed math and reading.)

School Summary

Create an overview table that summarizes key metrics about each school, including:
- School Name
- School Type
- Total Students
- Total School Budget
- Per Student Budget
- Average Math Score
- Average Reading Score
- % Passing Math (The percentage of students that passed math.)
- % Passing Reading (The percentage of students that passed reading.)
- % Overall Passing (The percentage of students that passed math and reading.)

Top Performing Schools (By % Overall Passing)

Create a table that highlights the top 5 performing schools based on % Overall Passing. Include:
- School Name
- School Type
- Total Students
- Total School Budget
- Per Student Budget
- Average Math Score
- Average Reading Score
- % Passing Math (The percentage of students that passed math.)
- % Passing Reading (The percentage of students that passed reading.)
- % Overall Passing (The percentage of students that passed math and reading.)

Bottom Performing Schools (By % Overall Passing)

Create a table that highlights the bottom 5 performing schools based on % Overall Passing. Include all of the same metrics as above.

Math Scores by Grade**

Create a table that lists the average Math Score for students of each grade level (9th, 10th, 11th, 12th) at each school.

Reading Scores by Grade

Create a table that lists the average Reading Score for students of each grade level (9th, 10th, 11th, 12th) at each school.

Scores by School Spending

Create a table that breaks down school performances based on average Spending Ranges (Per Student). Use 4 reasonable bins to group school spending. Include in the table each of the following:
- Average Math Score
- Average Reading Score
- % Passing Math (The percentage of students that passed math.)
- % Passing Reading (The percentage of students that passed reading.)
- % Overall Passing (The percentage of students that passed math and reading.)

Scores by School Size

Repeat the above breakdown, but this time group schools based on a reasonable approximation of school size (Small, Medium, Large).

Scores by School Type

Repeat the above breakdown, but this time group schools based on school type (Charter vs. District).
