== Challenges == # Search for your own name. Are there both boys and girls that have your name? Is it more popular for one group than for the other? ## Hint: don't use a for loop for this one. # What is the most common name for each gender? # What is the least common? # How often does the least common occur? (Does that bother you?) # Are there more boys names or girls names? ## What about that start with "a"? ## For every letter, tell if there are more boys names or girls names. # What is the longest name in the dataset? # How many boys and girls are described in the dataset (i.e., how many boys and girls born in 2013 have names given to at least four others)? # How many boys names are also girls names? How many girls names are also boys names? # What is the most popular girls name that is also a boys name? # Discover at least one fact about the names that is not listed above. # ''Challenge'' plot (in Excel) the number of people who share a name with n other people in the data set, where n is 4 to 19. === New === # Re-work anything above and make sure you are understand it # Get the ratio of names that start with each letter. ## Do this for boys and girls. ## '''Hint''' First line of output is a boys: 0.10120456305133887 girls: 0.18231978026407467 # Are girls or boys more likely to have a name that is used by both genders?
