3. 3. What does this print?

   import pandas as pd
   df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3], 'b': [4, 5, 6]})
   print(df['a'].sum())

   1. [1, 2, 3]
   2. 6
   3. (1, 2, 3)
   4. Error
4. 4. Which selects rows where age >= 18?
   1. df.where(age >= 18)
   2. df[df['age'] >= 18]
   3. df.filter('age >= 18')
   4. df.select('age >= 18')
5. 5. What does this return?

   df = pd.DataFrame({'g': ['a', 'b', 'a'], 'v': [10, 20, 30]})
   print(df.groupby('g')['v'].sum().to_dict())

   1. {'a': 40, 'b': 20}
   2. {'a': 10, 'b': 20}
   3. {'a': 30, 'b': 20}
   4. Error
6. 6. How do you join two DataFrames on a common column (SQL-style)?
   1. append
   2. concat
   3. merge
   4. join by default
7. 7. Default behavior of df.dropna()?
   1. Fills NaN with 0
   2. Drops rows with at least one NaN
   3. Drops columns with any NaN
   4. Returns a bool
8. 8. What is df['c'] after this?

   df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2], 'b': [3, 4]})
   df['c'] = df['a'] + df['b']
   print(df['c'].tolist())

   1. [4, 6]
   2. [3, 6]
   3. [1, 2, 3, 4]
   4. Error
9. 9. How do you set an existing column as the index?
   1. df.set_index('col')
   2. df.reindex('col')
   3. df.index = 'col'
   4. df['col'].as_index()
10. 10. Difference between apply, map and applymap?
    1. None
    2. Series.map elementwise; DataFrame.apply per column/row; DataFrame.applymap elementwise (deprecated in 2.1+, use DataFrame.map)
    3. apply only works on the index
    4. map is slower than applymap
11. 11. What does this print?

    df = pd.DataFrame({'x': [1, 2, 3]})
    s = df['x']
    s.iloc[0] = 99
    print(df['x'].iloc[0])

    1. 1
    2. 99
    3. NaN
    4. Error
12. 12. Which produces multi-aggregation per group?
    1. df.groupby('g').agg({'v': ['mean', 'std']})
    2. df.groupby('g').sum_mean()
    3. df.groupby('g').multiagg(['mean', 'std'])
    4. df.groupby('g').describe(['mean', 'std'])
13. 13. What does this return?

    idx = pd.date_range('2024-01-01', periods=3, freq='D')
    s = pd.Series([10, 20, 30], index=idx)
    print(s.resample('2D').sum().tolist())

    1. [30, 30]
    2. [60]
    3. [10, 50]
    4. [30, 50]
14. 14. How do you read a CSV with the date column parsed and set as index?
    1. pd.read_csv(p, index_col='date', parse_dates=['date'])
    2. pd.read_csv(p, dates=True)
    3. pd.read_csv(p).set_dates()
    4. pd.read_csv(p, header='date')
15. 15. How do you fill NaN with the mean?
    1. s.fillna(s.mean())
    2. s.replace(NaN, mean)
    3. s.dropna().mean()
    4. s.mean().fillna()
16. 16. What does this pivot produce?

    df = pd.DataFrame({'d': ['x','x','y'], 'k': ['a','b','a'], 'v': [1,2,3]})
    print(df.pivot(index='d', columns='k', values='v'))

    1. Wide table with index d, columns a/b; missing combos = NaN
    2. Error
    3. A 1D Series
    4. A long-format table
17. 17. What does df.dtypes return?
    1. The global Python type of df
    2. A Series mapping each column to its dtype
    3. A set of all dtypes
    4. The index dtype
18. 18. Why is df['col'].str.lower() faster than a Python loop?
    1. It isn't
    2. The .str accessor applies the op in C across the column without a Python loop
    3. It caches the result
    4. It JITs on the fly
19. 19. Recommended dtype for a column with a small set of repeated values (e.g., statuses)?
    1. object
    2. str
    3. category
    4. bytes
20. 20. What does this print?

    df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2, 3, 4]})
    print(df.rolling(window=2).sum()['a'].tolist())

    1. [NaN, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0]
    2. [1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.0]
    3. [3.0, 5.0, 7.0]
    4. Error
