Module 4
1. Define Pandas. Explain its importance in data manipulation and data analysis. List the core data
structures of Pandas.
2. Explain the Pandas Series data structure. Describe different ways of creating a Series with
suitable examples.
3. Explain how elements are accessed in a Pandas Series. Illustrate access by index label, position,
and slicing with examples.
4. Explain the process of creating a Pandas Series from a NumPy array. Discuss memory sharing
between NumPy arrays and Pandas Series.
5. Explain filtering of values in a Pandas Series. How are Boolean conditions used for filtering?
Illustrate with examples.
6. Explain arithmetic and mathematical operations on Pandas Series. Describe the use of functions
such as sum(), mean(), min(), and max().
7. Explain the functions unique(), value_counts(), and isin() used for evaluating values in a Pandas
Series with examples.
8. What are NaN values in Pandas? Explain the use of isnull() and notnull() functions with suitable
examples.
9. Explain operations between two Pandas Series. How does Pandas perform index-based
alignment during arithmetic operations?
10. Define a Pandas DataFrame. Explain different methods of creating a DataFrame using dictionary
and NumPy array with examples.
11. Explain how to select data from a Pandas DataFrame. Describe column selection, index access,
and dot notation with examples.
12. Explain assigning values in a DataFrame. Discuss updating cells, adding columns, conditional
assignment, and assignment using another column.
13. Explain membership testing in a Pandas DataFrame using isin(). How is it used for filtering data?
14. Explain different methods of deleting columns from a DataFrame using drop() and del with
examples.
15. Explain filtering in a Pandas DataFrame. How are Boolean conditions applied to extract rows?
16. Explain how to create a DataFrame from a nested dictionary. Discuss the structure and give a
suitable example.
