Why does this code raise an error?
from scipy.stats import uniform
rv = uniform(loc=2, scale=3)
print(rv.pdf(6))
APDF method requires two arguments
B6 is outside the distribution range
CLoc must be zero or positive
DScale must be an integer
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Determine distribution range

    Range is from loc=2 to loc+scale=5.
  2. Step 2: Check if 6 is in range

    6 is outside the range, so PDF returns 0 but no error; however, scipy may warn or handle it.
  3. Step 3: Understand why error might occur

    If error occurs, likely because 6 is outside the support of the distribution.
  4. Final Answer:

    6 is outside the distribution range -> Option B
  5. Quick Check:

    PDF defined only inside range [OK]
Quick Trick: PDF is zero outside loc to loc+scale range [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Thinking PDF needs two arguments
  • Assuming loc must be zero
  • Believing scale must be integer
