Optional Project Task: Visualising relationships

In this topic you’ve seen how visualisations can be used to spot patterns and trends in data. Now it’s your turn to apply this to your optional project with the flights data.

Using the data you prepared earlier, create visualisations to identify patterns and trends in the areas you’re investigating.

When you do this, consider which type of visualisation is most appropriate for the data you’re working with and the type of relationship you’re investigating. You should also think about what you’re looking for in the results.

At this point you’re only working with a sample of the data, so any results will need to be investigated further before reporting these back. You should still make a note of any patterns or trends you can identify at this point. You’ll use these to guide your second round of investigation using the full data set.
