How do I create a sum row and sum column in pandas?

Question

I\'m going through the Khan Academy course on Statistics as a bit of a refresher from my college days, and as a way to get me up to speed on pandas & other scientific Py

Answer 1

The original data is:

>>> df = pd.DataFrame(dict(Undergraduate=[240, 3760], Graduate=[60, 440]), index=["Straight A's", "Not"])
>>> df
Out: 
              Graduate  Undergraduate
Straight A's        60            240
Not                440           3760

You can only use df.T to achieve recreating this table:

>>> df_new = df.T
>>> df_new
Out: 
               Straight A's   Not
Graduate                 60   440
Undergraduate           240  3760

After computing the Total by row and columns:

>>> df_new.loc['Total',:]= df_new.sum(axis=0)
>>> df_new.loc[:,'Total'] = df_new.sum(axis=1)
>>> df_new
Out: 
               Straight A's     Not   Total
Graduate               60.0   440.0   500.0
Undergraduate         240.0  3760.0  4000.0
Total                 300.0  4200.0  4500.0
