SciPy - Statistical Functions (scipy.stats) Basics

Identify the error in the following code:

from scipy.stats import norm
samples = norm.rvs(5, size=10)
print(samples)

AMissing scale parameter; loc=5 is interpreted as size

BThe size parameter should be passed as the first argument

CThe mean parameter should be named loc=5

DNo error; code runs correctly

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze the code syntax and parameters
norm.rvs(5, size=10) passes 5 as positional loc=5, scale defaults to 1, size=10 is keyword.
Step 2: Verify execution
The code runs correctly, generating 10 samples from Normal(5, 1).
Final Answer:
No error; code runs correctly -> Option D
Quick Check:
norm.rvs(5, size=10) valid: loc=5, scale=1 default [OK]

Quick Trick: Positional loc/scale arguments are valid before size [OK]
