Challenge 3: Utility DataWorks Visualization Project
Create engaging visualizations of the city’s water and electricity data, learning to communicate insights effectively through visual means.
Part 1: Understanding the Data
Welcome to the Data Challenge!
Objective: Get acquainted with our dataset on city utilities.
Your Task: We've provided data on city water and electricity usage over the last 5 months. Your goal is to explore this data to understand usage trends.
Dataset:
Water Usage (in million gallons): [15, 12, 18, 20, 16]
Electricity Usage (in thousand MWh): [30, 35, 28, 40, 32]
Action: Examine the numbers and identify which month had the highest and lowest usage for both water and electricity.
Part 2: Performing Simple Statistics
Let's Dig Deeper!
Objective: Apply basic statistical analysis to our dataset.
Your Task: Calculate the average usage for both water and electricity over the last 5 months.
Action: Calculate the average for both datasets.
Part 3: Visualization with Bar Chart
Bring Data to Life!
Objective: Learn to visually represent data.
Your Task: Create a bar chart using the averages you calculated for water and electricity usage.
Action:
Input your calculated averages into the designated fields.
Watch as your inputs dynamically generate a bar chart, visually comparing the average usage of water and electricity.
Input Field for Water Average: [Your Answer Below]
Input Field for Electricity Average: [Your Answer Below]
Note: Your bar chart will update automatically as you input the averages.
