2.2 Practice - Vaccinations Report - Python for Data Science

We have a report on the number of flu vaccinations in a class of 20 people. It has the following numbers: never: 5 once: 8 twice: 4 3 times: 3 What is the mean number of times those people have been vaccinated? Output the result using the print() statement Hint: Think about the data this way: it contains 20 values, each representing the number of vaccinations the corresponding person had. === This is introductory but I can't figure out the solution. Could you please help me? Neither line seems to work for the hidden case: print( (5+8+4+3) / 4 ) print( (5+8+4+3) / 20 )

Thanks Jerry Hobby, good point. I tried this but it doesn't work either: print( (0*5) + (1*8) + (2*4) + (3*3) / 4 ) What am I missing to find the mean of the number of flu vaccinations for 20 people?

Yes you can try making a dict of values and append the values to the are and find the avg👌 Something like nums={0:5,1:8,2:4,3:3} # since 5 is once,8 is twice and so on.. arr=empty list for key,val in nums.items(): for i in range(key): append values to arr #arr will be equal to [8,4,4,3,3,3] #mean print(sum(arr)/20)

[1] vac_nums = [0,0,0,0,0, 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1, 2,2,2,2, 3,3,3] [2] [vac_nums.count(x) * x for x in set(vac_nums)] >>> [0, 8, 8, 9] [3] len(vac_nums) >>>> 20 [4] sum([vac_nums.count(x) * x for x in set(vac_nums)]) / len(vac_nums) >>>> 1.25

Simply to find the mean, just do the following equation: print((8+8+9)/20) Since one time vaccination: 8 Since two times vaccination: 4 x 2 = 8 Since three times vaccination: 3 x 3 = 9 Add them all together and then divide by the total number of students which is 20. This should help.

You aren’t adding up twenty numbers. Repeat the numbers the specified number of times.

Divide by 20?

never=[0,0,0,0,0] once=[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1] twice=[2,2,2,2] third=[3,3,3] total=never+once+twice+third sum(total)/20
