1.
What are the different data types mentioned in Python according to the text?
Answer: The different data types mentioned in Python according to the text are:
- Numeric types: Integer, Float, Complex
- Sequence types: String, List, Tuple
- Boolean
2.
How can you modify key-value pairs in dictionaries in Python based on the information provided?
Answer: You can modify key-value pairs in dictionaries in Python by assigning a new value to the key using the syntax `my_dict[\'key\'] = new_value`.
3.
Can you explain the uniqueness of keys in dictionaries and how they differ from indexing in Python as per the text?
Answer: Keys in dictionaries must be unique and immutable, such as strings, numbers, or tuples. This uniqueness ensures that each key is associated with a single value within the dictionary. On the other hand, indexing in Python is the process of accessing an element in a sequence using its position, starting from 0. Dictionaries are unordered collections of key-value pairs and do not have a defined order like lists or strings, making them different from indexing in sequences.
4.
What is the basic terminologies and their importance in statistics in
Python?
Answer: The following fundamental terms and their significance in Python statistics are listed:
Population: In a statistical study, a population is the total set of people or items of interest.
A sample is a portion of the population chosen to serve as a representative sample of the entire population.
Variable: A variable is an attribute of a person or thing that has the capacity to assume several values.
Data: In a statistical investigation, data are the values of variables that are gathered.
Parameter: A parameter is a number that characterizes a population feature.
A statistic is a figure that expresses a feature of a sample through numbers.
Probability: The possibility that something will happen is known as probability.
Distribution: A function that characterizes a distribution.
5.
Which are the primary Python built-in data types?
Answer: Integers (int), floating-point numbers (float), strings (str), lists (list), tuples (tuple), dictionaries (dict), and booleans (bool) are among the built-in data types in Python.
6.
How can I ascertain a variable\'s data type?
Answer: Python\'s type() method can be used to ascertain a variable\'s data type. For instance, type(5) would yield a result.
Is it possible to alter a variable\'s data type?
Yes, type conversion allows you to alter a variable\'s data type. For instance, the str() method can be used to change a number into a string.

Modifying Key-Value Pairs in Dictionaries
To modify a value in a dictionary, you can simply assign a new
value to the key:
my_dict = {'key': 'value'}
my_dict['key'] = 'new value'
To add a new key-value pair to a dictionary, you can simply assign
a value to a new key:
my_dict = {'key': 'value'}
my_dict['new_key'] = 'new value'
To update the value of a key-value pair in a dictionary using
another dictionary, you can use the update() method:
, dict1 = {'key1': 'value1'}
dict2 = {'key2': 'value2'}
dict1.update(dict2)
Deleting Key-Value Pairs from Dictionaries
To delete a key-value pair from a dictionary, you can use
the del keyword:
my_dict = {'key': 'value'}
del my_dict['key']
To delete all the key-value pairs from a dictionary, you can use
the clear() method:
my_dict = {'key': 'value'}
my_dict.clear()
Understanding Indexing
Indexing in dictionaries is different from indexing in lists or strings.
Dictionaries are unordered collections of key-value pairs, and
therefore do not have a defined order.
However, you can still access the value of a key-value pair by using
the key inside square brackets:
my_dict = {'key': 'value'}
print(my_dict['key'])
