error in 03_Grouping/Alcohol_Consumption/Exercise_with_solutions.ipynb

[vlsireddy]

Hi,

03_Grouping/Alcohol_Consumption/Exercise_with_solutions.ipynb

error in ### Step 6. Print the mean alcohol consumption per continent for every column

i thought something wrong in my own code. but then i opened and executed the Exercise_with_solutions.pynb file, the error can be replicated there as well

drinks.groupby('continent').mean()
