Assignment A3.1 – Visualizing Spotify Streaming Data: An Exploration of Graphical Representation and Insightful Analysis

Please note: this is an individual assignment.

Assignment Description

You will be provided with a dataset containing Spotify’s streaming data and tasked with creating four different graphs using best practices and adding insightful “takeaway titles.” After completing the graphs, you must select the one you believe best conveys your insights and justify your choice with a clear explanation.

Instructions

Using Tableau, connect to the file. This file contains over 1,900 rows of real Spotify streaming data on songs listened to by Spotify users from 2000 to 2019.

Apply the data visualization best practices that we have learned during this course to visualize the evolution of the average popularity for the genres Dance/Electronic, Hip-Hop, Pop, and Rock from 2010 to 2019 (inclusive).

Create the following:

• a highlight table on sheet 1
• a parallel bar/column chart on sheet 2
• a line chart on sheet 3
• a treemap on sheet 4
• Write and format takeaway titles in the same way as we did during the bar charts, line charts, and pie charts best practices videos. The titles should help communicate interesting insights derived from the data.
• Provide a detailed explanation in PDF format for this question: Which of the visuals that you have created do you like best and why?

Assignment Format

• Tableau workbook file (.twbx) with your solutions
• Provide a PDF document with your explanation of the question mentioned above.

Please note: this is an individual assignment.

Assignment Description

This assignment will allow you to apply the principles of data visualization to a real-world dataset.

You will have to create a scatterplot and then interpret your graph.

Dataset: . This dataset contains multiple variables related to diamonds and their characteristics that you can analyze and visualize.

Instructions

Your task is to visualize with a scatterplot a potentially interesting relationship between two variables that is worth visually exploring.

Scatterplot Creation

Using the dataset provided, create a scatterplot that represents the relationship between diamond carats and prices (in USD).

As there is a huge number of registers, lets apply some filtering to plot just the best diamonds included in the dataset. The best diamonds in this dataset have Color D and Clarity VVS1. If you would like to learn more about what these codes mean, as well as the rest of the columns included in the dataset, this webpage provides very clear explanations education/.Links to an external site.

Add Cut to the color mark to add an additional analysis dimension to your chart.

Write a takeaway title that communicates something related to Ideal cut diamonds. What else could you do to provide more detailed information to the users of your chart regarding each one of the represented diamonds?

Your scatterplot should be clear, accurate, and easy to interpret. As part of your submission, you should include the following:

• an explanation of your design choices, such as the color scheme you have chosen
• a clear and thorough interpretation of what your scatterplot shows about the relationship between the studied variables

Remember, the key to a good scatterplot is not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its ability to clearly and effectively communicate existing patterns, correlations, or outliers in the data it represents.

Submission

Please submit your scatterplot as a Tableau packaged workbook (.twbx file) and your written interpretation in PDF format.

Notes from professor:

You submitted the attached spreadsheet with images of charts. The purpose of submitting the spreadsheet is to show your work. That said the charts and formulas must be connected to the data.

The assessment calls for boxplots not for histograms for Occupancy Rate by Lot 1-9 and Occupancy Rate by Day of the Week.

Also you need to select two lots from the nine and generate scatterplots based on Time Stamps and then filter them by Day to identify the exact time each of these two lots is reaching maximum occupancy.

I have attahed all the detiles please read it carfuly and make sure it is correct
