NumPy: Generate five random numbers from the normal distribution

NumPy: Random Exercise-1 with Solution

Write a NumPy program to generate five random numbers from the normal distribution.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

# Importing the NumPy library as np
import numpy as np
# Generating a NumPy array 'x' of size 5 with random numbers from a normal distribution using np.random.normal()
x = np.random.normal(size=5)
# Printing the array 'x'
print(x) 

Sample Output:

[-1.85145616 -0.4639516   0.49787567  1.23607083 -1.33332987]

Explanation:

In the above exercise – x = np.random.normal(size=5): This line generates an array of 5 random numbers sampled from a normal distribution. The np.random.normal() function is used to generate the random numbers. By specifying the size=5 parameter, you tell the function to generate an array of 5 elements.

print(x): This line prints the generated array of random numbers
