My Code:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
combined.corr()['sat_score'][survey_fields].plot.bar()
plt.show()
What I expected to happen:
Bar plot to be generated of correlations between survey fields and ‘sat_score’ .
What actually happened:
Nothing. No error.
Replace this line with the output/error
all_survey = pd.read_csv("schools/survey_all.txt", delimiter="\t", encoding='windows-1252')
d75_survey = pd.read_csv("schools/survey_d75.txt", delimiter="\t", encoding='windows-1252')
survey = pd.concat([all_survey, d75_survey], axis=0)
survey["DBN"] = survey["dbn"]
survey_fields = [
"DBN",
"rr_s",
"rr_t",
"rr_p",
"N_s",
"N_t",

survey = survey.loc[:,survey_fields]
data["survey"] = survey
Your mistake is in here, can you spot it? 
The code for the bar plot was a subcell of
survey_fields.remove("DBN")
So I guess the kernel doesn’t execute a cell if it does not have the line number in front of it.
Hello,
I have viewed your notebook and the cell that this line of code was written is a markdown cell. I think this might be why your cell doesn’t have a line number before it. You can click here to see the shortcut to convert the cell to a code cell, or, you can simply click anywhere on the cell and on the toolbar above the notebook, you’ll see this area:
All you have to do next is to click “code” there and this will convert the markdown cell to a code cell. You can then execute it.
I’d highly recommend you check out this brief introduction to Jupyter Notebook shortcuts. They’ll save you a lot of time.
Well, that last element in the list I posted would give a Syntax error right? I’m a bit confused, can we end list with separators these days 
Hello,
I’ve checked it out on the command line Python interpreter and this gave no errors:
a = [3, 2,]
So, I’m guessing that you can end lists with separators, it’s just not a common practice.
