Function definitions provide a way of reusing commonly-performed code segments and can thus make your program code more concise and maintainable. In this unit you have had many opportunities to improve the quality of your code by defining functions, rather than duplicating code. Consider the following two Python function definitions (with deliberately uninformative function and parameter names). def paradox(riddle, poser): return riddle + [poser[0]] def mystery(puzzle, conundrum = ['b']): return [puzzle[1]] + paradox(conundrum, puzzle) Assuming these two functions have already been defined, write a single call to function mystery that returns list ['a', 'b', 'c']. Enter your answer in the text box below.

Write a Python function that takes a list of integers as a parameter and returns the sum of the elements in the list. Thank you.

Python uses all EXCEPT the following: Question 1 options: Functions (def), Conditionals (if, elif, else), input, write.

A group of statisticians at a local college has asked you to create a set of functions using Python programming that compute the median and mode of a set of numbers, as defined in Section 5.4. Define these functions in a module named stats.py. Also, include a function named mean, which computes the average of a set of numbers. Each function should expect a list of numbers as an argument and return a single number. Each function should return 0 if the list is empty. Include a main function that tests the three statistical functions with a given list.
