    • This dataset captures the details of how CO2 emissions by a vehicle can vary with the different features. The dataset has been taken from Canada Government official open data website which contains data for over a period of 7 years. There are total 7385 rows and 12 columns. Listed below is few abbreviations to describe different data points.

    Model

    • 4WD/4X4 = Four-wheel drive
    • AWD = All-wheel drive
    • FFV = Flexible-fuel vehicle
    • SWB = Short wheelbase
    • LWB = Long wheelbase
    • EWB = Extended wheelbase

    Transmission

    • A = Automatic
    • AM = Automated manual
    • AS = Automatic with select shift
    • AV = Continuously variable
    • M = Manual
    • 3 - 10 = Number of gears

    Fuel type

    • X = Regular gasoline
    • Z = Premium gasoline
    • D = Diesel
    • E = Ethanol (E85)
    • N = Natural gas

    Fuel Consumption City and highway fuel consumption ratings are shown in litres per 100 kilometres (L/100 km) - the combined rating (55% city, 45% hwy) is shown in L/100 km and in miles per gallon (mpg)

    CO2 Emissions The tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide (in grams per kilometre) for combined city and highway driving

    LOADING THE DATA

    # Import the pandas and numpy packages

    Exploratory Data Analysis

    cars.info()
cars.describe()

    Look at the first ten items in the CO2 emissions array

    
cars_co2_emissions[:10]

    1. There are total 42 types of car brand.

    2. There are total 2053 unique car model.

    3. There are total 16 types of vehicle class basis on their gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and volume index.

    1. What is the median engine size in liters?

    
cars['Engine Size(L)'].median()

    2. What is the average fuel consumption for regular gasoline (Fuel Type = X), premium gasoline (Z), ethanol (E), and diesel (D)?

    

cars.groupby(['Fuel Type'])['Fuel Consumption Comb (L/100 km)'].mean()

    3. What is the correlation between fuel consumption and CO2 emissions?
