In this assignment, you will be using a database of geographic data for you in the PySal library to
create two plots, a choropleth map and a proportional symbol map. In addition to these two plots,
you will compute the value of Moran's I for this data.
Dataset
The United States' lower 48 states. In addition to the statebystate data, the dataset contains shape
files for each state that you can use to create the choropleth and proportional symbol maps.
Administrative Notes
Your assignment will be graded by Coursera's grading system. In order for your answers to the
question, you must have the code for each question. In addition, you should submit the assignment
in the cell's display area. Contain no extraneous information. Each cell that is going to be graded has
a set of comment lines at the beginning of the cell. These lines are extremely important and must not
be modified or removed.
A correct submission would result in feedback as:”Correct!”
An incorrect submission would look like: “ Incorrect Response! ”
