The following code throws an error. What is the cause?
from scipy import stats
result = stats.norm.pdf(0)
print(result)
AThe code is correct and will not throw an error
BThe 'stats' submodule is not imported correctly
CThe 'norm' object does not have a 'pdf' method
DThe 'pdf' function requires an additional parameter
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check the import statement

    The code imports the 'stats' submodule correctly using 'from scipy import stats'.
  2. Step 2: Verify usage of 'norm.pdf'

    The 'norm' object in 'stats' has a 'pdf' method that calculates the probability density function at the given point. Calling 'stats.norm.pdf(0)' is valid.
  3. Final Answer:

    The code is correct and will not throw an error -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Correct import and method usage = no error [OK]
Quick Trick: Check official docs for method availability before assuming errors [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Assuming missing import causes error
  • Thinking 'pdf' needs extra parameters
  • Confusing method names
