Collect the "Irish Flower" dataset from any public data source, e.g., the UCI Machine Learning Repository. Then perform the following tasks:

I. Clearly mention the source where you have collected the dataset. Include a screenshot and URL of the source.
II. Specify the basic details of the dataset, including the number of attributes, names of the attributes, number and names of the classes and the mean and standard deviation of the attribute variables.
III. Convert the dataset into a .csv file with the attribute column headers as Sepal_length, Sepal_Width, Petal_Length, Petal_Width and the 5th column as "Class".
IV. Use an analytics tool of your choice (e.g., MS Excel) to compute the class-wise mean and standard deviation of the attributes and present your answer as the table shown below.

	Class-wise mean ± standard deviation
	Sepal_Lengh	Sepal_Width	Petal_Length	Petal_Width
Iris-setosa
Iris-versicolor
Iris-virginica

Use an analytics tool of your choice to generate a suitable graph taking only the class-wise mean values of the attributes and comment on how the classes show separability in this dataset. Justify your answer with screenshots and briefly discuss the graph in terms of a pattern.
