Reply to comment by JCPRuckus in [OC]Average Star Ranking Of Christmas Movies Released Each Year on IMDB by brave_loaf

Sorry this is my first time posting and I'm a beginner with data science. That was how the python library automatically formatted it when I calculated and graphed the mean for each year so that was how I left it. Would it have been better to show a range from 0-10 on the side? I feel like it would be difficult to view the differences between each year if I had changed the range to that but I would love to hear your suggestions.

Well, yes, it would be hard to see the difference in the full 1-10 range. But that would accurately reflect the small change in that full context. If you really think it's important to show that detail though, then I would say that you should include both graphs and indicate that one is a cropped and zoomed detail from the other.

Thank you for your advice. I re-graphed the original graphs and included a median line along with the mean line across the graph. Here is the link to it if your interested. https://imgur.com/a/PWOJHua
