You will find practice questions related to the random number generation in NumPy on this page. Practicing these exercise questions will solve your doubts and improve your understanding of different ways of generating random numbers in NumPy.
In NumPy, there is a random module that has various functions such as randint(), rand(), uniform(), choice(), and others for generating random numbers. So, to solve these questions quickly, it is recommended that you know these functions. If you want to learn more about the random module and their functions, visit the following tutorial:
Q1 Create a 1 dimensional NumPy random array a and sort it.
Solution
import numpy as np a = np.random.rand(5) print(np.sort(a))
Output
[0.01170141 0.09909724 0.47288824 0.52449332 0.82644721]
Q2 Create a 5x5 NumPy array r that contains 25 uniformly distributed (pseudo) random numbers between 0 and 1.
Solution
import numpy as np r = np.random.uniform(0, 1, (5, 5)) print(r)
Output
[[0.56804456 0.92559664 0.07103606 0.0871293 0.0202184 ] [0.83261985 0.77815675 0.87001215 0.97861834 0.79915856] [0.46147936 0.78052918 0.11827443 0.63992102 0.14335329] [0.94466892 0.52184832 0.41466194 0.26455561 0.77423369] [0.45615033 0.56843395 0.0187898 0.6176355 0.61209572]]
Your output may be different from the one shown above.
Q3 Create a 2x3 NumPy array that contains 6 normally distributed random numbers with mean 10 and standard deviation 5.
Solution
import numpy as np arr = np.random.normal(10, 5, (2, 3)) print(arr)
Output
[[ 7.20087584 1.9835701 9.30366306] [-5.86759191 9.53430873 12.679931 ]]
Q4 Create a 2x3 NumPy array that contains 6 random integers between 2 and 6.
Solution
import numpy as np arr = np.random.randint(2, 6, (2, 3)) print(arr)
Output
[[5 3 3] [5 5 4]]

Q5 Use NumPy functions only, create an array of 10 random numbers in standard normal distribution.
Solution
import numpy as np arr = np.random.normal(size=10) print(arr)
Output
array([-0.04647527, -0.43817178, 0.37162942, 0.48765696, 0.4633344 ,
0.95593161, 1.93810509, -2.24209764, 0.55227006, 0.79033699])
Q6 Create a NumPy array of 10 randomly generated values from 0 to 100.
Solution
randint() function is used to generate random integer values. As we want 10 random values so we will use size parameter to specify that.
import numpy as np arr = np.random.randint(0, 100, size=10) print(arr)
Output
[23 22 11 88 13 85 10 3 27 63]
Q7 Use NumPy random number function to generate at least 1000 numbers between the range of 1 to 100,000. After generating the array, performs the following operations:
Solution
import numpy as np
arr = np.random.randint(1, 100000, size=1000)
print('NumPy array:\n', arr)
sorted_arr = np.sort(arr)
print('Sorted array:\n', sorted_arr)
print('Maximum element is ', sorted_arr[0])
print('Minimum element is ', sorted_arr[999])
print('Average is ', np.mean(arr))
Q8 Write a python code that creates a numpy array of 10 randomly generated values between 0 and 100.
Solution
import numpy as np
arr = np.random.randint(0, 100, size=10)
print('NumPy array:\n', arr)
