The first chart type that I will be looking at, is the bar chart. It is used when counting the occurrences of unique data point values for a variable that is categorical in nature. In this video our categorical variable will be month of the year and the unique data point values (sample space) will be "month in which a unit item is sold". This sample space will only contain three months: January, February, and March. The bar chart will indicate how many times each of these three values occur and hence how many unit items were sold in each month. I will show you how to construct a bar chart, how to add titles and axes labels, how to color the bars, and a variety of other useful elements that can be added. In this playlist I will be using Python (version 3.6) in a Jupyter notebook. You can install everything you need from Anaconda. The link to the download for your operating system and all the files for this playlist is below.
