**Fundamentals of Data Analysis: Assignment 2018**

Due: last commit on or before November 11th

This document contains the instructions for Assignment 2018 for Fundamentals of Data
Analysis. Please be advised that all students are bound by the Quality Assurance
Framework [4] at GMIT which includes the Code of Student Conduct and the Policy
on Plagiarism. The onus is on the student to ensure they do not, even inadvertently,
break the rules. A clean and comprehensive git history (see below) is the best way to
demonstrate to the examiner that your submission is your own work. It is, however,
expected that you draw on works that are not your own to build your submission and
you should systematically reference those works to enhance your submission.
Problem statement

The following assignment concerns the well-known **Anscombe’s quartet dataset** [2]. You are required to create a Jupyter [5] notebook analysing the dataset. There are four
distinct tasks to be carried out in your Jupyter notebook.
  - Explain the **background** to the dataset – who created it, when it was created, and any speculation you can find regarding how it might have been created.
  - **Plot** the interesting aspects of the dataset.
  - Calculate the **descriptive statistics** of the variables in the dataset.
  - **Explain why the dataset is interesting**, referring to the plots and statistics above.
