Practical Refer Kaggle data sets (https://www.kaggle.com/datasets?fileType=csv) and
Problem download the dataset for Car Price Prediction.
Answer the following questions:
1. Download the dataset and summarize it using Python or R.
2. Calculate the mean, median, and standard deviation for the Price column.
3. Visualize the distribution of Mileage using a histogram.
4. Check for missing values in the dataset and handle them by replacing with
the mean.
5. Identify categorical variables in the dataset (e.g., Car Make, Transmission)
and explain why they are categorical.
6. Normalize the Price column to the range [0, 1].
7. Find the correlation between Price and Mileage.
8. Identify any outliers in the Price column using the IQR method.
9. Categorize the Price column into "Low", "Medium", and "High" based on
predefined thresholds.
10. Create a simple scatter plot between Mileage and Price.
Objective(s) To apply subset operation on data frame and performing basic operation on data
