Chapter 05: Visualization

From chart choice to pandas plotting and polished visual communication.

Learning Goals

• Pick chart types based on question and variable type.
• Use pandas plots for fast exploratory views.
• Refine labels, scales, legends, and style for interpretation.

Chapter Flow

• 5.1 Pandas plotting basics
• 5.2 Pandas chart types
• 5.3 Pandas plot styling

What To Watch For

• The main concept introduced in each section
• The code pattern that supports the concept
• The management question the method helps answer

Carry Forward

• Use the section practice exercises to check runnable code skills.
• Keep the notebook examples runnable.
• Connect each method to interpretation, not just syntax.
• Use the glossary terms when explaining results.
