Python Code Notes

The analysis compares survival rates on the Titanic between kids and adults, and between females and males. It concludes that kids (52.23%) had a higher survival rate than adults (31.26%), and females (73.19%) had a significantly higher survival rate than males (21.20%). Additionally, it suggests that the policy of prioritizing women and children was effectively enforced, as female adults (74.35%) also had a higher survival rate than female kids (62.22%).

'''
Note:
- [Link]() is a cross tabulation function in pandas. We use it
to build a cross tabulation between gender and age group.
- As we have 2 gender groups (females & males) and 2 age groups
(kids & adults), the resulting cross tabulation should have 4
groups: female kids, female adults, male kids & male adults.
- For each group, we calculate the mean (i.e., aggfunc = 'mean') of
the survived data (i.e., values = df['survived']), which is the
survival rate of a group.

kids adults
females 0.622222 0.743529
males 0.453125 0.202759

Conclusions:
Survival rate for kids (0.5223) > adults (0.3126)
Survival rate for females (0.7319) > males (0.2120)
Survival rate for female adults (0.7435) > female kids (0.6222)
In other words, Titanic tried to save all the females regardless of their age.
Based on the above findings, the "women and children go first" policy by and large could be
enforced on Titanic.
Possible reasons include the males on Titanic were really noble (i.e., they let the women and
children get into the lifeboats first), or/and Titanic crew had sufficient forces to enforce the
policy.
