Introduction to Python
Run the hidden code cell below to import the data used in this course.
# Importing course packages; you can add more too!
import numpy as np
import math
# Import columns as numpy arrays
baseball_names = np.genfromtxt(
fname="baseball.csv", # This is the filename
delimiter=",", # The file is comma-separated
usecols=0, # Use the first column
skip_header=1, # Skip the first line
dtype=str, # This column contains strings
)
baseball_heights = np.genfromtxt(
fname="baseball.csv", delimiter=",", usecols=3, skip_header=1
)
baseball_weights = np.genfromtxt(
fname="baseball.csv", delimiter=",", usecols=4, skip_header=1
)
baseball_ages = np.genfromtxt(

Explore Datasets
Use the arrays imported in the first cell to explore the data and practice your skills!
- Print out the weight of the first ten baseball players.
- What is the median weight of all baseball players in the data?
- Print out the names of all players with a height greater than 80 (heights are in inches).
- Who is taller on average? Baseball players or soccer players? Keep in mind that baseball heights are stored in inches!
- The values in
soccer_shooting
are decimals. Convert them to whole numbers (e.g., 0.98 becomes 98). - Do taller players get higher ratings? Calculate the correlation between
soccer_ratings
andsoccer_heights
to find out! - What is the average rating for attacking players (
'A'
)?
