Exercise-3

1. Random Walk Simulation:


●​ Objective: Simulate a 1-dimensional random walk.
●​ Instructions:
○​ Create a NumPy array to store the positions of the random walk.
○​ Initialize the starting position to 0.
○​ In a loop:
■​ Generate a random step: -1 (move left) or 1 (move right) with equal
probability.
■​ Update the current position by adding the random step.
■​ Store the updated position in the array.
○​ Visualize the random walk using matplotlib.pyplot.plot().
2. Matrix Operations:
●​ Objective: Perform matrix multiplication and inversion.
●​ Instructions:
○​ Create two random 3x3 matrices using np.random.rand().
○​ Perform matrix multiplication using np.dot().
○​ Calculate the inverse of one of the matrices using np.linalg.inv().
○​ Verify that the product of a matrix and its inverse is approximately the identity
matrix.
3. Image Manipulation (Basic):
●​ Objective: Load and manipulate a grayscale image.
●​ Instructions:
○​ Load a grayscale image using plt.imread() (ensure you have an image file).
○​ Convert the image to a NumPy array.
○​ Invert the image by subtracting the pixel values from 255.
○​ Display the original and inverted images using plt.imshow().
4. Polynomial Root Finding:
●​ Objective: Find the roots of a polynomial.
●​ Instructions:
○​ Define the coefficients of a polynomial (e.g., [1, -2, 1]).
○​ Use np.roots() to find the roots of the polynomial.
○​ Verify the results by substituting the roots back into the polynomial equation.
5. Statistical Analysis:
●​ Objective: Calculate basic statistical measures for a dataset.
●​ Instructions:
○​ Create an array of 100 random numbers from a normal distribution.
○​ Calculate the mean, median, standard deviation, and variance of the array using
NumPy functions (e.g., np.mean(), np.median(), np.std(), np.var()).
○​ Create a histogram of the data using plt.hist().

6. Array Manipulation:
●​ Objective: Create an array of 10 random integers between 1 and 50.
●​ Reshape the array into a 2x5 matrix.
●​ Find the minimum and maximum values in the array.
●​ Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the array.
7. Array Indexing and Slicing:
●​ Objective: Create an array of 20 random numbers.
●​ Extract the first 5 elements of the array.
●​ Extract every third element of the array.
●​ Create a new array containing only the even-indexed elements.
8. Array Filtering:
●​ Objective: Create an array of 15 random numbers.
●​ Find all elements in the array that are greater than 5.
●​ Find all elements in the array that are between 10 and 20.
9. Array Sorting and Searching:
●​ Objective: Create an array of 12 random numbers.
●​ Sort the array in ascending order.
●​ Find the indices of the sorted array.
●​ Find the index of the value 7 in the array (if it exists).
10. Sine Wave Visualization:
●​ Objective: Create a plot of the sine function over a specified interval.
●​ Instructions:
○​ Use numpy.linspace() to generate an array of x-values.
○​ Calculate the corresponding y-values using numpy.sin().
○​ Use matplotlib.pyplot.plot() to create a line plot.
○​ Add labels to the x-axis and y-axis, and a title to the plot.
11. Bar Chart for Student Grades:
●​ Objective: Create a bar chart to visualize the distribution of student grades in a
class.
●​ Instructions:
○​ Create a list or array of student grades.
○​ Use matplotlib.pyplot.bar() to create a bar chart.
○​ Set appropriate labels for the x-axis (e.g., student names) and y-axis
(grades).
○​ Add a title to the plot.
12. Scatter Plot for Height and Weight:
●​ Objective: Create a scatter plot to visualize the relationship between height and
weight of a group of individuals.
●​ Instructions:
○​ Create two lists or arrays: one for heights and one for corresponding
weights.
○​ Use matplotlib.pyplot.scatter() to create a scatter plot.
○​ Set appropriate labels for the x-axis (height) and y-axis (weight).
○​ Add a title to the plot.
13. Histogram for Age Distribution:
●​ Objective: Create a histogram to visualize the distribution of ages in a population.
●​ Instructions:
○​ Create a list or array of ages.
○​ Use matplotlib.pyplot.hist() to create a histogram.
○​ Set appropriate labels for the x-axis (age) and y-axis (frequency).
○​ Add a title to the plot.
14. Subplots for Multiple Plots:
●​ Objective: Create a figure with multiple subplots to visualize different aspects of a
dataset.

●​ Instructions:
○​ Create a figure using matplotlib.pyplot.figure().
○​ Add subplots using matplotlib.pyplot.subplot().
○​ In each subplot, create a different type of plot (e.g., line plot, bar chart,
scatter plot) using the appropriate data.
○​ Set appropriate labels and titles for each subplot.
