Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

from array import *
array_num = array('i', [1, 3, 5, 3, 7, 9, 3])
print("Original array: "+str(array_num))
print("Number of occurrences of the number 3 in the said array: "+str(array_num.count(3)))

Sample Output:

Original array: array('i', [1, 3, 5, 3, 7, 9, 3])                      
Number of occurrences of the number 3 in the said array: 3
