The average is one of the most important tool of a Data Scientist.
With the DataFrame.mean() method, you can compute the average of the entire DataFrame or of a specific column.
Here is the code
# To use dataframes
import pandas as pd
# We create a sample dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame({"col1" : [2, 1, 4, 2, 0]})
# We compute and show the average value of a specific dataframe column
print(df["col1"].mean())
# We compute and show the average value of the entire dataframe
print(df.mean())
Here you are! You now know how to compute the average value of DataFrame with Pandas using Python.
