Status: Pass (Homework is graded on "Pass" or "Needs Improvement") Comments: Good work Kate! Your written analysis is clear, and you were able to use groupby well to see the impacts of the various categories. Great work applying sum() to the grouped data to get total number of survivors by group. You can try applying different functions to get the survival rates by group too. Make sure to check in class some methods for visualizing survival rates for the various groups. You should try to have a couple plots and charts to help your reader "see" your results! Also a good thing to watch for is how to group the ages into ranges, which is one of the suggestions you have for further exploration. Some of your classmates tried that, you can reach out to them to see what they did.

Thanks for your submission!

I would like to see some visuals. I really recommend trying to build some visuals on your own when you get a chance - I think it will help you learn. I like your intuition about what predicts survival, and I think you have a great thought process on your idea for a new feature. Essentially, you're taking advantage of outside knowledge about life expectancy - maybe you can try making a new feature out of it!
