Python for Data Analysis: Step-By-Step with Projects - Selecting Rows and Setting the Index (2)

The video tutorial explains how to use Boolean indexing, lock, and iloc for filtering data frames. It covers combining conditional statements with AND, OR, and NOT operators, and demonstrates the use of the isin method. The tutorial also reviews the differences between label-based and integer-based indexing, providing practical examples to illustrate these concepts.

What is a key advantage of using Boolean indexing over loc or iloc?

• It allows for more complex data manipulations.

• It is faster than loc or iloc.

• It requires less typing and is more convenient.

• It can handle missing data better.

Which operator should be used for combining conditions in DataFrame filtering?

• AND

• &&

• ||

• &

How can you filter a DataFrame for rows where a column value is in a list of values?

• Using the isin method

• Using the contains method

• Using the equals method

• Using the match method

What does the not operator do in the context of DataFrame filtering?

• It combines multiple conditions.

• It filters out all rows.

• It selects only the first row.

• It inverts the Boolean values of a condition.

Which method is primarily used for label-based indexing?

• loc

• isin

• iloc

• Boolean indexing

What is the main difference between loc and iloc?

• loc is faster than iloc.

• loc is used for integer-based indexing.

• iloc is used for integer-based indexing.

• iloc is used for label-based indexing.

When using iloc, what does the slicing syntax [1:3] return?

• Rows at positions 1 and 2

• Rows at positions 1, 2, and 3

• Rows at positions 0, 1, and 2

• Rows at positions 2 and 3

Why might iloc be more convenient than loc in some cases?

• It is faster.

• It does not require knowing the index labels.

• It can handle missing data better.

• It allows for more complex conditions.

What method can be used to reset the index of a DataFrame?

• set_index

• reset_index

• drop_index

• reindex

How can you select the first three rows of a DataFrame using iloc?

• iloc[0:2]

• iloc[1:4]

• iloc[1:3]

• iloc[0:3]
