SciPy - Statistical Functions (scipy.stats) Basics

What will be the output type of the following code?

from scipy.stats import poisson
samples = poisson.rvs(mu=3, size=5)
print(type(samples))

A<class 'list'>

B<class 'numpy.ndarray'>

C<class 'int'>

D<class 'float'>

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand output of rvs with size parameter
When size is specified, rvs() returns a NumPy array of samples.
Step 2: Check the printed type
Printing type(samples) will show <class 'numpy.ndarray'>.
Final Answer:
<class 'numpy.ndarray'> -> Option B
Quick Check:
rvs(size=) returns numpy.ndarray [OK]

Quick Trick: rvs with size returns numpy array, not list [OK]
