Calculating the Mean and Creating a Bar Chart Calculating the Mean of a Column In Python, the pandas DataFrame lets you easily compute summary statistics, such as the mean (average) of a column. This is done using the syntax: table['column'].mean() In the example below, we're computing the mean of the "number" column and printing it with a short label to help interpret the result. Visualizing Data with a Bar Chart The seaborn library allows you to create beautiful charts with very little code. Here, we use it to plot how each number maps to its square. The code: Prints the mean of the "number" column. Uses the seaborn library to create a bar chart, with: "number" on the x-axis "squared" values on the y-axis Adds labels, a grid, and styling for clarity. Your Task Run the code and observe the printed mean and the chart. Question: What is the mean of the "number" column? Can you visually confirm this number makes sense based on the data shown in the bar chart? print("Column 2 mean:", df['squared'].mean()) sns.set_theme(style="whitegrid") sns.barplot(data=df, x='number', y='squared') sns.despine() plt.grid(True, linestyle=':', linewidth=1) plt.title("Square of Numbers") plt.xlabel("Number") plt.ylabel("Squared Value") plt.show()

Step-by-Step Analysis
The prompt presents a question about the mean of the "number" column and asks whether this mean can be visually confirmed from the bar chart. However, the code snippet shown in the prompt actually computes and prints the mean of the "squared" column, not the mean of the "number" column. This creates an inconsistency between what is being asked (mean of number) and what is being calculated and plotted (squared values). Because of this mismatch, we cannot definitively determine the mean of the "number" column from the information pr......Login to view full explanation
