Case Study - Cricket Tournament

A panel wants to select players for an upcoming league match based on their fitness. Players from all significant cricket clubs have participated in a practice match, and their data is collected. Let us now explore NumPy features using the player's data.

Example - 1

Heights of the players is stored as a regular Python list: height_in. The height is expressed in inches. Can you make a numpy array out of it ?

# Define list
height_in = [74, 74, 72, 72, 73, 69, 69, 71, 76, 71, 73, 73, 74, 74, 69, 70, 73, 75, 78, 79, 76, 74, 76, 72, 71, 75, 77, 74, 73, 74, 78, 73, 75, 73, 75, 75, 74, 69, 71, 74, 73, 73, 76, 74, 74, 70, 72, 77, 74, 70, 73, 75, 76, 76, 78, 74, 74, 76, 77, 81, 78, 75, 77, 75, 76, 74, 72, 72, 75, 73, 73, 73, 70, 70, 70, 76, 68, 71, 72, 75, 75, 75, 75, 68, 74, 78, 71, 73, 76, 74, 74, 79, 75, 73, 76, 74, 74, 73, 72, 74, 73, 74, 72, 73, 69, 72, 73, 75, 75, 73, 72, 72, 76, 74, 72, 77, 74, 77, 75, 76, 80, 74, 74, 75, 78, 73, 73, 74, 75, 76, 71, 73, 74, 76, 76, 74, 73, 74, 70, 72, 73, 73, 73, 73, 71, 74, 74, 72, 74, 71, 74, 73, 75, 75, 79, 73, 75, 76, 74, 76, 78, 74, 76, 72, 74, 76, 74, 75, 78, 75, 72, 74, 72, 74, 70, 71, 70, 75, 71, 71, 73, 72, 71, 73, 72, 75, 74, 74, 75, 73, 77, 73, 76, 75, 74, 76, 75, 73, 71, 76, 75, 72, 71, 77, 73, 74, 71, 72, 74, 75, 73, 72, 75, 75, 74, 72, 74, 71, 70, 74, 77, 77, 75, 75, 78, 75, 76, 73, 75, 75, 79, 77, 76, 71, 75, 74, 69, 71, 76, 72, 72, 70, 72, 73, 71, 72, 71, 73, 72, 73, 74, 74, 72, 75, 74, 74, 77, 75, 73, 72, 71, 74, 77, 75, 75, 75, 78, 78, 74, 76, 78, 76, 70, 72, 80, 74, 74, 71, 70, 72, 71, 74, 71, 72, 71, 74, 69, 76, 75, 75, 76, 73, 76, 73, 77, 73, 72, 72, 77, 77, 71, 74, 74, 73, 78, 75, 73, 70, 74, 72, 73, 73, 75, 75, 74, 76, 73, 74, 75, 75, 72, 73, 73, 72, 74, 78, 76, 73, 74, 75, 70, 75, 71, 72, 78, 75, 73, 73, 71, 75, 77, 72, 69, 73, 74, 72, 70, 75, 70, 72, 72, 74, 73, 74, 76, 75, 80, 72, 75, 73, 74, 74, 73, 75, 75, 71, 73, 75, 74, 74, 72, 74, 74, 74, 73, 76, 75, 72, 73, 73, 73, 72, 72, 72, 72, 71, 75, 75, 74, 73, 75, 79, 74, 76, 73, 74, 74, 72, 74, 74, 75, 78, 74, 74, 74, 77, 70, 73, 74, 73, 71, 75, 71, 72, 77, 74, 70, 77, 73, 72, 76, 71, 76, 78, 75, 73, 78, 74, 79, 75, 76, 72, 75, 75, 70, 72, 70, 74, 71, 76, 73, 76, 71, 69, 72, 72, 69, 73, 69, 73, 74, 74, 72, 71, 72, 72, 76, 76, 76, 74, 76, 75, 71, 72, 71, 73, 75, 76, 75, 71, 75, 74, 72, 73, 73, 73, 73, 76, 72, 76, 73, 73, 73, 75, 75, 77, 73, 72, 75, 70, 74, 72, 80, 71, 71, 74, 74, 73, 75, 76, 73, 77, 72, 73, 77, 76, 71, 75, 73, 74, 77, 71, 72, 73, 69, 73, 70, 74, 76, 73, 73, 75, 73, 79, 74, 73, 74, 77, 75, 74, 73, 77, 73, 77, 74, 74, 73, 77, 74, 77, 75, 77, 75, 71, 74, 70, 79, 72, 72, 70, 74, 74, 72, 73, 72, 74, 74, 76, 82, 74, 74, 70, 73, 73, 74, 77, 72, 76, 73, 73, 72, 74, 74, 71, 72, 75, 74, 74, 77, 70, 71, 73, 76, 71, 75, 74, 72, 76, 79, 76, 73, 76, 78, 75, 76, 72, 72, 73, 73, 75, 71, 76, 70, 75, 74, 75, 73, 71, 71, 72, 73, 73, 72, 69, 73, 78, 71, 73, 75, 76, 70, 74, 77, 75, 79, 72, 77, 73, 75, 75, 75, 73, 73, 76, 77, 75, 70, 71, 71, 75, 74, 69, 70, 75, 72, 75, 73, 72, 72, 72, 76, 75, 74, 69, 73, 72, 72, 75, 77, 76, 80, 77, 76, 79, 71, 75, 73, 76, 77, 73, 76, 70, 75, 73, 75, 70, 69, 71, 72, 72, 73, 70, 70, 73, 76, 75, 72, 73, 79, 71, 72, 74, 74, 74, 72, 76, 76, 72, 72, 71, 72, 72, 70, 77, 74, 72, 76, 71, 76, 71, 73, 70, 73, 73, 72, 71, 71, 71, 72, 72, 74, 74, 74, 71, 72, 75, 72, 71, 72, 72, 72, 72, 74, 74, 77, 75, 73, 75, 73, 76, 72, 77, 75, 72, 71, 71, 75, 72, 73, 73, 71, 70, 75, 71, 76, 73, 68, 71, 72, 74, 77, 72, 76, 78, 81, 72, 73, 76, 72, 72, 74, 76, 73, 76, 75, 70, 71, 74, 72, 73, 76, 76, 73, 71, 68, 71, 71, 74, 77, 69, 72, 76, 75, 76, 75, 76, 72, 74, 76, 74, 72, 75, 78, 77, 70, 72, 79, 74, 71, 68, 77, 75, 71, 72, 70, 72, 72, 73, 72, 74, 72, 72, 75, 72, 73, 74, 72, 78, 75, 72, 74, 75, 75, 76, 74, 74, 73, 74, 71, 74, 75, 76, 74, 76, 76, 73, 75, 75, 74, 68, 72, 75, 71, 70, 72, 73, 72, 75, 74, 70, 76, 71, 82, 72, 73, 74, 71, 75, 77, 72, 74, 72, 73, 78, 77, 73, 73, 73, 73, 73, 76, 75, 70, 73, 72, 73, 75, 74, 73, 73, 76, 73, 75, 70, 77, 72, 77, 74, 75, 75, 75, 75, 72, 74, 71, 76, 71, 75, 76, 83, 75, 74, 76, 72, 72, 75, 75, 72, 77, 73, 72, 70, 74, 72, 74, 72, 71, 70, 71, 76, 74, 76, 74, 74, 74, 75, 75, 71, 71, 74, 77, 71, 74, 75, 77, 76, 74, 76, 72, 71, 72, 75, 73, 68, 72, 69, 73, 73, 75, 70, 70, 74, 75, 74, 74, 73, 74, 75, 77, 73, 74, 76, 74, 75, 73, 76, 78, 75, 73, 77, 74, 72, 74, 72, 71, 73, 75, 73, 67, 67, 76, 74, 73, 70, 75, 70, 72, 77, 79, 78, 74, 75, 75, 78, 76, 75, 69, 75, 72, 75, 73, 74, 75, 75, 73]
