Question

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You have a Fabric tenant that contains a new semantic model in OneLake. You use a Fabric notebook to read the data into a Spark DataFrame. You need to evaluate the data to calculate the min, max, mean, and standard deviation values for all the string and numeric columns. Solution: You use the following PySpark expression: df.show() Does this meet the goal?

Why each option

The `df.show()` PySpark expression displays the first few rows of a DataFrame but does not calculate descriptive statistics.

AYes

`df.show()` is intended for data preview, not for computing statistical summaries of the entire dataset.

BNoCorrect

The `df.show()` method is used to display the content of the DataFrame in a tabular format, showing a sample of the data, and does not perform statistical aggregations like min, max, mean, or standard deviation.
