Summary of Key Findings

After viewing the .describe(), I noticed that the widest range in differences was in petal length. I ran a basic histogram plot and found there was a significant gap between short petal lengths and long.

My box plot showed that petal length was a very strong indicator of setosa irises and an okay indicator between versicolor and virginica species. Setosas also had a bit more outliers than other species.

My scatter plot shows that petal width is correlated with petal length and confirms the previous findings of the box plot.
