This a problem set for you to work through

This is a problem set. Some of these are easy, others are far more difficult. The purpose of these problems sets are to HELP YOU THINK THROUGH problems. The solution is at the bottom of this page, but please don't look at it until you have tried (and failed) at least three or four times.

What is this problem set trying to do

You are going to use very simple if not in logic here. If you complete this problem set, you will have shown me you sort of understand how to test a string for a specific character. You will have ALSO shown me that you know how to program a very simple validator.

The Problem

Please program the following functions:

1. Mean For a data set, the terms arithmetic mean, mathematical expectation, and sometimes average are used synonymously to refer to a central value of a discrete set of numbers: specifically, the sum of the values divided by the number of values.
2. Mode The mode is the value that appears most often in a set of data.
3. Median In statistics and probability theory, a median is the number separating the higher half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution, from the lower half. The median of a finite list of numbers can be found by arranging all the observations from lowest value to highest value and picking the middle one (e.g., the median of {3, 3, 5, 9, 11} is 5). If there is an even number of observations, then there is no single middle value; the median is then usually defined to be the mean of the two middle values

Some Code to Get You Started

email = raw_input("Enter your email ")

Take This Further

1. you can test for a @ and a . Could you also test for common misspellings?
2. if you can test for common misspellings, could you suggest the correct spelling?
3. we can check for common .com, .org, addresses but what about other top level domain names click here for a fairly scary list of them

def mean(list):
    answer = sum(list)   
    mean = answer / len(list)
    return mean

def mode(list):
    frequency = {}
    highest = max(list)
    lowest = min(list)
    # in this loop, we simply update our dictionary named "frequency with the count of values.
    for i in range(lowest,highest+1):
        frequency.update({i:list.count(i)})
    values = frequency.values()
    keys = frequency.keys()
    mode = keys[values.index(max(values))]
    return mode

def median(list):
    new_list = sorted(list)
    if len(new_list) % 2 == 1:
        median = new_list[len(list)/2]
    return median
   
print("the mean of list is: " + str(mean(list)))
print("the median of list is: " + str(median(list)))
print("the mode of list is: " + str(mode(list)))
