Explore a Dataset with pandas

Load, inspect, filter, and summarise a CSV using pandas fundamentals.

The Scenario

You have been given a CSV file of 10,000 e-commerce orders. Your manager wants a quick exploration before the team decides what analysis to pursue.

The Brief

Write a Python script using pandas that loads the CSV, inspects its shape and data types, handles any obvious issues, and produces a summary. You do not need the actual file — write the code as if the CSV exists at `orders.csv`.

Deliverables

  • The Python script covering: loading, `.info()`, `.describe()`, null checks, and at least 3 filtered views
  • A markdown summary of what you found (as if reporting to your manager)
  • One follow-up question your exploration raised that requires deeper analysis

Submission Guidance

Write production-quality pandas code. Use method chaining where it improves readability. Comments should explain *why*, not *what*.
