  • Print the maximum value in the dictionary.

  • Print the minimum value in the dictionary.

Question-2#

Create a list containing the keys from the provided dictionary, where the corresponding values are even numbers.

state_num = {'NY':135, 'TX':236, 'FL':207, 'CA':140, 'NJ':98, 'MO':175, 'AZ':124}

Question-3#

Create a new dictionary with the same keys as the “grades” dictionary, but with the values being the average of the test scores for each student.

grades = {'Jack':[100,90,95], 'Ashley':[85,90,95], 'Frank':[100,100,70]}

Question-4#

Generate a list using list comprehension containing the ID numbers from the per_info dictionary.

  • Compare the length of the generated list with the number of pairs in the per_info dictionary to verify if all ID numbers are unique.

per_info = {'Tom': {'ID':156, 'Age':24, 'Gender':'M', 'State':'NJ'},
            'Liz': {'ID':179, 'Age':27, 'Gender':'F', 'State':'AZ'},
            'Joe': {'ID':102, 'Age':21, 'Gender':'M', 'State':'TX'},
            'Bob': {'ID':101, 'Age':29, 'Gender':'M', 'State':'FL'},
            'Eli': {'ID':198, 'Age':26, 'Gender':'F', 'State':'CA'},
            'Ian': {'ID':129, 'Age':27, 'Gender':'M', 'State':'NY'},
            'Amy': {'ID':145, 'Age':24, 'Gender':'F', 'State':'NY'},
           }

Question-5#

If the current year is 2020, calculate the birth year of each person from the per_info dictionary and add the key-value pair ‘Birth year’: birth_year to the dictionary for each person.

Question-6#

Generate a dictionary containing two key-value pairs representing the gender type and the number of persons belonging to that type. Plot a bar chart to visually represent the keys and their corresponding values.

Business Applications#

Portfolio Analysis#

The percentage distribution of investments in a portfolio is represented by the following dictionary:

dist_invest = {'stocks':0.25, 'bonds':0.45, 'cash': 0.10, 'cryptocurrency': 0.05, 'real estate': 0.15}

Write a function that takes the total investment amount as a parameter and returns a dictionary where the keys are the investment categories from the dist_invest dictionary, and the values are the corresponding amounts invested in each category.
