About Project

This project has 2 different purposes. The first one is to pratice performing data analysis, especially on well-knwon data set so that it is easier to be proven myself. The scond purpose is to be familiar with python when performing data analysis including using plotting, math, data frame libraries. The end goal of this project is mainly focused on predicting a passenger's survivability.

About the Data Set

The data set includes 891 entries (observations), and each entry has 11 different variables to describe a passenger.

• survival : Survival (0 = No, 1 = Yes)
• pclass : Ticket class (1 = 1st/Upper, 2 = 2nd/Middle, 3 = 3rd/Lower)

• ticket : Ticket number
• fare : Passenger fare
• cabin : Cabin number
• embarked : Port of Embarkation (C = Cherbourg, Q = Queenstown, S = Southampton)
