Use the following information to answer Q6, Q7, Q8, Q9, and Q10:
Load the dataset iris.csv (add the link sent in the email) as a dataframe irisdata, with
the first column as index headers, first row as column headers, dependent variable as
factor variable, and answer the following questions.
The iris dataset contains four Sepal and Petal features (Sepal Length, Sepal Width,
Petal Length, Petal Width, all in cm) of 50 equal samples of 3 different species of the
iris flower (Setosa, Versicolor, and Virginica).

(b) All the variables are normally distributed
(c) The variable Petal Length alone is normally distributed
(d) None of the above
Answer: (b)
7. How many rows in the dataset contain missing values?
(a) 10
