Assume you have the Pandas DataFrame data, with the following contents:

our_columns_name column_A column_B column_C column_D column_E

our_index_name                                                   

row_name_0               9        93        71    Hello       102

row_name_1              28        64        37       my        92

row_name_2              13        91        93     name       104

row_name_3              45        29        54       is        74

row_name_4               0        36        31    Jason        36

Each column has a dtype (data type). Which of the following could be set of dtypes for this DataFrame?

Hint 1: None of the numeric values shows a decimal point. (A float shows a decimal point, while an int does not. For example, 3. is a float, while 3 is an int.)

Hint 2: A column that has strings has a dtype of object, not str.

You can create the DataFrame above with this code:

data = pd.DataFrame({'column_A': {'row_name_0': 9,

'row_name_1': 28,

'row_name_2': 13,

'row_name_3': 45,

'row_name_4': 0},

'column_B': {'row_name_0': 93,

'row_name_1': 64,

'row_name_2': 91,

'row_name_3': 29,

'row_name_4': 36},

'column_C': {'row_name_0': 71,

'row_name_1': 37,

'row_name_2': 93,

'row_name_3': 54,

'row_name_4': 31},

'column_D': {'row_name_0': 'Hello',

'row_name_1': 'my',

'row_name_2': 'name',

'row_name_3': 'is',

'row_name_4': 'Jason'},

'column_E': {'row_name_0': 102,

'row_name_1': 92,

'row_name_2': 104,

'row_name_3': 74,

'row_name_4': 36}})

Scott Ginsburg was chief executive officer (CEO) of Evergreen Media

Corp., which owned and operated radio stations. In 1996, Evergreen became interested in

acquiring EZ Communications, Inc., which also owned radio stations. To initiate negotiations,

Ginsburg met with EZ’s CEO, Alan Box, on Friday, July 12. Two days later, Scott phoned his

brother Mark, who, on Monday, bought 3,800 shares of EZ stock. Mark discussed the deal with

their father Jordan, who bought 20,000 EZ shares on Thursday. On July 25, the day before the

EZ bid was due, Scott phoned his parents’ home, and Mark bought another 3,200 EZ shares.

The same routine was followed over the next few days, with Scott periodically phoning Mark or

Jordan, both of whom continued to buy EZ shares. Evergreen’s bid was refused, but on August

5, EZ announced its merger with another company. The price of EZ stock rose 30 percent,

increasing the value of Mark and Jordan’s shares by $664,024 and $412,875, respectively. The

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a civil suit in a federal district court against

Scott. What was the most likely allegation? What is required to impose sanctions for this

offense? Should the court hold Scott liable? Why or why not? [
