Q05.33 The 1D NumPy array F is defined below. But construct your code to work with any 1D NumPy array filled with numbers.

F = np.array([5, -4.7, 99, 50, 6, -1, 0, 50, -78, 27, 10])

(a) Select all the elements from F that are greater than 5 and store them in x.

(b) Select all of the elements from F that are between 5 and 30. Store them in y.

(c) Select all of the elements from F that are between 5 and 30 or that are equal to 50. Store them in z.

Hint: To perform the logical OR or AND operations, on boolean arrays of the same dimensions, NumPy functions are needed. The standard Python "or" and "and" will not work.

Hint: You can use either logical indexing or np.where() to get the appropriate values from A.

Q05.34 The 1D NumPy array B is defined below. But your code should work with any 1D NumPy array filled with numeric values.

G = np.array([5, -4.7, 99, 50, 6, -1, 0, 50, -78, 27, 10])

(a) Select all of the positive numbers in G and store them in x.

(b) Select all the numbers in G between 0 and 30 and store them in y.

(c) Select all of the numbers in G that are either less than -50 or greater than 50 and store them in z.

Q05.35 Define an integer c which is a random integer between 100 and 999 (including 100 and 999)

(a) pull the first digit out of c and assign it to the variable x
