Project US Medical Insurance Review

Hi my name is Ethan, I took around 3 hours to finish this project and I would greatly appreciate any feedback anyone has to offers.

Thanks!

  • It’s good that you had a brief intro and a conclusion to wrap up your analysis.

  • I like that you looked at both the min and max of the age col. Carry that over to looking at the charges column too.

  • Before calculating the mean of charges, it might be a good idea to get the min, max, & median rather than the mean. There are outliers in the data that pull the mean (which you could also see with a viz).

  • Be mindful of using subjective terms like, ‘underweight’, ‘overweight’, etc. BMI is not an accurate measure of one’s health (just research it). In fact, It’s a made up number that insurance companies use to charge people higher premiums too. In fact, I’d nix that part of your notebook altogether. Analysts are supposed to be objective. If you’re going to keep that section, then say something like, ‘this many ppl fall into this range…this many ppl are in this range’ and so on. For some reason, I thought that the instructions of the course had changed and had recommended ppl ignore that variable.

Thank you very much for the reply, I will take your recommendations into account when moving forward with new projects.
