SciPy - Statistical Functions (scipy.stats) Basics
You want to model a uniform distribution for daily temperatures between 10°C and 20°C. Which code correctly calculates the probability that temperature is less than 15°C?

hard📝 Application Q15 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Set correct loc and scale for temperature range
Range is 10 to 20, so loc=10 and scale=20-10=10.Step 2: Calculate CDF at 15
CDF at 15 is (15 - loc)/scale = (15-10)/10 = 0.5, which is the probability temperature is less than 15.Final Answer:
rv = uniform(loc=10, scale=10) prob = rv.cdf(15) -> Option DQuick Check:
prob = (15-10)/10 = 0.5 [OK]
Quick Trick: CDF = (x - loc) / scale inside range [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Using wrong scale length
- Setting loc to zero incorrectly
- Calculating CDF outside range without adjustment
