Instructions:
• This midterm exam must be completed in the 80 minute time period ending at
12:30PM, unless you have accommodations supported by a DSP letter.
• Note that some questions have bubbles to select a choice. This means that you should only select one choice. Other questions have boxes. This means you should select all that apply.
• When selecting your choices, you must fully shade in the box/circle. Check marks will likely be mis-graded.
• You may use a one-sheet (two-sided) study guide.
• Work quickly through each question. There are a total of 168 points on this exam.
Honor Code:
As a member of the UC Berkeley community, I act with honesty, integrity, and respect for others. I am the person whose name is on the exam and I completed this exam in accordance with the honor code.

Syntax Reference Regular Expressions
“ˆ” matches the position at the beginning of string (unless used for negation “[ˆ]”)
“$” matches the position at the end of string character.
“?” match preceding literal or sub-expression 0 or 1 times. When following “+” or “*” results in non-greedy matching.
“+” match preceding literal or sub-expression one or more times.
“*” match preceding literal or sub-expression zero or more times
“[ ]” match any one of the characters inside, accepts a range, e.g., “[a-c]”.
“( )” used to create a sub-expression
“d” match any digit character. “D” is the
complement.
“w” match any word character (letters, dig- its, underscore). “W” is the comple- ment.
“s” match any whitespace character includ- ing tabs and newlines. S is the comple- ment.
“” match boundary between words
requests.post(url, auth, params, data)
makes a POST requests with params in the header and data in the body.
“.” match any character except new line.
Some useful re and requests package functions.
re.findall(pattern, st) return the list of all sub-strings in st that match pattern.
requests.get(url, auth, params, data)
makes a GET requests with params in the header and data in the body.
Useful Pandas Syntax
df.loc[row_selection, col_list] # row selection can be boolean df.iloc[row_selection, col_list] # row selection can be boolean df.groupby(group_columns)[[’colA’, ’colB’]].sum()
pd.merge(df1, df2, on=’hi’) # Merge df1 and df2 on the ’hi’ column
pd.pivot_table(df, # The input dataframe index=out_rows, # values to use as rows columns=out_cols, # values to use as cols
values=out_values, # values to use in table aggfunc=”mean”, # aggregation function fill_value=0.0) # value used for missing comb.

(b) [4 Pts] She flips a fair coin 5 times and records the sequence of heads and tails as 1’s and 0’s, respectively. She then selects the student whose number corresponds to the binary sequence. For example, if she flipped [1, 1, 0, 0, 1] then she would select:
