Scientific Computing with NumPy and Pandas - Exam Questions

2-Marks Questions (Answer Any 5):

1. What is the difference between a NumPy array and a Python list?

Ans: NumPy arrays are more efficient, support vectorized operations, and consume less memory than Python

lists.

2. Define broadcasting in NumPy with a simple example.

Ans: Broadcasting allows NumPy to perform arithmetic operations on arrays of different shapes. E.g., adding

a scalar to a 2D array.

3. How do you generate a 1D array of 10 random integers between 1 and 100 in NumPy?

Ans: Using: np.random.randint(1, 101, size=10)

4. What is the purpose of the axis parameter in NumPy aggregation functions?

Ans: The axis parameter determines the dimension along which the function operates. axis=0 for columns,

axis=1 for rows.

5. Write code to select values greater than 10 from a NumPy array arr.

Ans: arr[arr > 10]

6. How is a Pandas Series different from a DataFrame?

Ans: A Series is a 1D labeled array, while a DataFrame is a 2D labeled table with columns.

7. Mention two functions to load data into a Pandas DataFrame.

Ans: read_csv(), read_excel()

5-Marks Questions (Answer Any 5):

1. Explain array indexing in NumPy with examples.

Ans: Array indexing allows accessing or modifying specific elements. E.g., arr[1], arr[2:5], arr[:,1].

2. Write Python code to perform element-wise addition, multiplication, and division of two NumPy arrays.

Ans: import numpy as np

arr1 = np.array([1, 2, 3])

arr2 = np.array([4, 5, 6])

Addition: arr1 + arr2

Multiplication: arr1 * arr2

Division: arr1 / arr2

3. Discuss NumPy's mathematical and statistical functions with examples.

Ans: Functions include np.mean(), np.std(), np.sum(), np.min(), np.max().

E.g., np.mean([1,2,3]) returns 2.0


4. How do you generate random numbers in NumPy? Explain with code.

Ans: Using np.random module. Examples:

np.random.rand(3)

np.random.randint(1, 10, 5)

np.random.normal(0, 1, 3)

5. What is a Pandas Series? Write code to create and access elements of a Series.

Ans: A Series is a one-dimensional labeled array.

import pandas as pd

s = pd.Series([10, 20, 30], index=['a', 'b', 'c'])

s['b'] returns 20

6. Explain the process of filtering and selecting data in Pandas with code.

Ans: df[df['age'] > 25] selects rows where age > 25

df[['name', 'age']] selects specific columns.

7. Describe groupby and aggregation in Pandas with an example.

Ans: groupby() splits the data and apply aggregation like mean(), sum().

E.g., df.groupby('dept')['salary'].mean()
