You will select a web page that has at least one table in it, and create a report with insights drawn from the
information of the site using web scraping methods (BeautifulSoup).

Your report should be professional, contain an objective, the findings and recommendations, all based on
the data collected.

Your report should include at least 4 different plots (two plots of the same type are not considered different,
for example, two scatter plots are considered similar, even if they plot different aspects of the data).

Your notebook should clearly specify and describe the website you crawled.

Advanced students will scrape 2 or more sites and use regular expressions to find patterns between them.
