Histograms, Box Plots, and Violin Plots

Q06.50 Plot the histogram of a normal distribution of 100 random numbers. Use NumPy's np.random.normal() function to create the array of numbers. Set a mean $\mu$ = 20 and a standard deviation $\sigma$ = 7.

Q06.51 NumPy's np.random.randint() function creates an array of random numbers. NumPy's np.random.randn() function creates an array of normally-distributed random numbers. Use both of these functions to create a set of 200 random numbers. Plot both sets of numbers as histograms with Matplotlib's ax.hist() method. After you construct both histograms, explain how the two NumPy functions np.random.randint() and np.random.randn() compare.

Q06.52 Create a box plot with three elements (three "boxes"). Use NumPy's np.random.randn() function to create three arrays of 50 elements. Plot each array as a separate element on the box plot.

Q06.53 Create a violin plot with five elements (five "violins"). Use NumPy's np.random.randn() function to create five arrays of 50 elements. Plot each array as a separate element on the violin plot.

Q06.54 Use Matplotlib's plt.subplots() command to create a figure with three subplots. In the first subplot, build a historgram. In the second subplot build a box plot. In the third subplot build a violin plot. Plot the same set of 100 normally-distributed random numbers (using NumPy's np.random.randn() function) in each subplot. Include a title above each subplot that shows the plot type: Histogram, Box Plot, and Violin Plot.

Scatter Plots

Q06.60 Create a scatter plot with the following lists of x points and y points.

x = [1,2,3,4,5]
y = [8,12,4,2,6]

Q06.61 Create a scatter plot with the following arrays of x pints and y points generated with NumPy's np.random.randint() function.

x = np.random.randint(20)
y = np.random.randint(20)

Q06.62 Use the code below to create two arrays of semi-focused random points.

x1 = 1.5 * np.random.randn(150) + 10
y1 = 1.5 * np.random.randn(150) + 10
x2 = 1.5 * np.random.randn(150) + 4
y2 = 1.5 * np.random.randn(150) + 4
x = np.append(x1,x2)
y = np.append(y1,y2)

Plot the arrays x and y on a scatter plot. Set the color of the marker's on the scatter plot red. Set the marker opacity to 0.5.

Subplots

Q06.70 Create a figure that has four subplots all in one row. In each of the subplots plot the function:

$y = e^x$

Use the same values of x and y in each subplot. Set the values of x with NumPy's arange() function with the line x = np.arange(0.01, 20.0, 0.01) In the first subplot, use Matplotlibs's ax.plot() method. In the second subplot use Matplotlib's ax.semilogy() method. In the thrid subplot use Matplotlib's ax.semilogx() method. In the four subplot use Matplotlib's ax.loglog() method. Label each subplot with a title that shows the plot type.

Q06.71 Use the data in Q06.31 to create a figure with two subplots. In the first subplot, build a bar chart of the data in Q06.31. In the second subplot, build a pie chart of he data in Q06.31.
