What is the issue with this code snippet?
import pandas as pd
from scipy import stats

df = pd.DataFrame({'X': [1, 2, 3], 'Y': [4, 5, 6]})
result = stats.ttest_ind(df['X'], df['Y'], axis=1)
print(result.statistic)
ADataFrame columns cannot be passed to ttest_ind
BThe 'axis' parameter is invalid for stats.ttest_ind
CMissing import for numpy
DThe print statement syntax is incorrect
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check ttest_ind parameters

    stats.ttest_ind does not accept an 'axis' parameter.
  2. Step 2: Understand input types

    Passing Pandas Series is valid; the problem is the invalid parameter.
  3. Final Answer:

    The 'axis' parameter is invalid for stats.ttest_ind -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Refer to SciPy docs for valid parameters [OK]
Quick Trick: ttest_ind does not support 'axis' argument [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming axis parameter works like NumPy
  • Thinking DataFrame columns are invalid inputs
  • Confusing print syntax errors
