AI Thread Summary
A transfer student is seeking assistance with a statistics assignment that involves creating a histogram and a boxplot using Python, specifically for analyzing annual rainfall data in Los Angeles from 1965 to 2006. The student has no prior coding experience and is unsure where to start. Respondents emphasize the need for the student to demonstrate more effort in their inquiry to receive meaningful help. Suggestions include using the pyplot library for plotting, with resources available online for examples of histograms and boxplots. There is also a mention of needing clarification on the graphics toolkit to be used, as well as confusion about ASCII output versus graphical plotting.

I could really use some help here, I am a transfer student so my course load is all out of order. I have a statistics course that requires me to use Python to solve this one question (the 2 parts shown below). I never took any sort of coding before, I don't know where to even start. Can anyone help with this boxplot and histogram? So I can input it into my Lab report.
The weather in Los Angeles is dry most of the time, but it can be quite rainy in the winter. The rainiest month of the year is February. The following table presents the annual rainfall in Los Angeles, in inches, for each February from 1965 to 2006.

Using Python:

2) Construct a histogram for these data.

4) Construct a boxplot for these data. Does the box-plot show any outliers?

You will need to show a lot more effort than that to get much help from us. What graphics toolkit (Tk) do you have that you want to use to plot these histograms? Or are you expected to plot them using ASCII output...?
 
I really want to provide more, but I honestly don't know what ASCII or a toolkit is at this point. The only programming I have ever done is G-code for CNC machine. All my instructions say is" Provide Python code and two plots" for the question and two plots.

I would guess that the OP is expected to use pyplot. Examples of histograms and box plots using pyplot can be located with a search engine.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.
