Watch the link above and answer the questions below. Graded on depth, breadth, content accuracy, grammar & spelling (up to 15 points).

1. What percent of the world’s population does the U.S. make-up? What percent of the world’s prison population do we house in the U.S.? Why do you think we have such a discrepancy?

2. Tell me about the Tim Cole case in Texas Link (https://www.innocenceproject.org/cases/timothy-cole/) . What went wrong in this case? What could have been prevented if the real perpetrator was found? Do you think a statue and the Tim Cole act (about compensation for exonerated people) is enough to satisfy this error by the court?  Why or why not? 

3. What did Michael Risengrove find in his study of ex post facto DNA exoneration study about the error rate of felony convictions? What is the raw number of felony convictions each year that might be false/innocent person convicted? Were you surprised by this data? What are some of the reasons/factos that make it difficult to know the actual error rate?

4. Tell me how each group has incentives to get convictions (police, prosecutors, and crime labs/forensic scientists).

5. What are some of the issues even with our best forensic sciences (DNA, fingerprints, etc.)? How do budgets link into convictions and how many states have these financial ties to conviction rates?

6. What about public defenders…do they have incentives to do well in the CJ system? What issues do they face doing their job for their client?

7. What are the three reforms that Dr.Rogel Koppl suggests to reform and improve forensic testing and the CJ system?

8. What have been the violent crime trends in the United States vs. Mexico and other Central American countries since 2006? What two factors changed drug cartels from the large monopolies of the likes of Pablo Escobar to the smaller and more diversity (industrial re-organization) of these cartels?

9. What was the “Kingpin Strategy” that Mexico adopted? Do you think this strategy was successful? Why or why not? (see link) Link (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/02/16/world/americas/mexicos-kingpin-strategy-against-the-drug-cartels.html)

U.S.C. (law) Kingpin laws of the United States Link (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/21/848)

10. What drug have we seen a decrease in production due to to liberalization/changes in laws? What do you think is the best way to handle the continued drug cartels in Mexico and Central America as well as the supply coming into the U.S.?

Part 1:
Write a program that asks the user for a secret number between one and ten. This will become the number that the player tries to “guess”.

Ask the user player to guess a number between 1 and 10.

If the user’s guess is higher than the secret number, the program should display “Too high. Try again.”

If the user’s guess is lower than the random number, the program should display “Too low. Try again.”

The program should use a loop that repeats until the user correctly guesses the secret number.

Then the program should display “You Win!”

TIP: Use a while loop

Sample input/output:
Enter the secret number: 7

Guess a number between 1 and 10: 3
Too low. Try again.

Guess a number between 1 and 10: 9
Too high. Try again.

Guess a number between 1 and 10: 7
You Win!

Part 2:
Write a program that converts the common measurements below. Use functions to logically organize each conversion task below. Each of the conversion functions should return the result. The conversion functions should not print the result.

Convert feet to inches. (1 foot = 12 inches)

Convert yards to feet. (1 yards = 3 foot)

Convert miles to yards. (1 mile = 1760 yards)

Convert miles to feet. (1 mile = 5280 feet)

Print the output of the conversion to the screen.

Display a menu that asks the user to select from the above options and with the option to exit the program.

After the user selects a menu option and the output is printed, ask the user for another menu option. This process repeats until the user selects 5 to exit.
Sample input/output:
Conversion Menu:

1. Convert feet to inches
2. Convert yards to feet
3. Convert miles to yards
4. Convert miles to feet
5. Exit

Please choose a menu option: 1
Enter the number of feet: 3

There are 36 inches in 3 feet.

Please choose a menu option: 5
Goodbye.

Part 3
Create a list of something that you choose, such as a list of scores, colors, movies, general numbers, etc. Call the list you create: my_list

Iterate over the list, printing each item in the list.

Add a new item to the list.

Print the length of the list.

Delete an item from the list.

Print the length of the list again.

Sample output (the output is shown below but not all coding steps above have output):

red
blue
green

3
2

Part 4:
You have a list called: numbers = [74, 19, 105, 20, -2, 67, 77, 124, -45, 38]
Design a program that uses a loop to build another list named valid_numbers .

This valid_numbers list will contain some of the numbers from the numbers list shown above. If a number in the numbers list is between 0 and 100, you will add that number to the valid_numbers list.

Is the first number in the numbers list between 0 and 100? If so, add it to the valid_numbers list.
Is the second number in the numbers list between 0 and 100? If so, add it to the valid numbers list.
Keep going. The numbers list could be of any size and contain any number, so don’t assume a certain list content or length.
The program should then print the valid_numbers list.

The program should also print the total and average of the values in the valid_numbers list.

TIP: Average is the sum divided by the number of items. Iterate over the valid_numbers, sum all the numbers, and calculate the average.
TIP: You are not expected to research Python topics we haven’t discussed in class. Just use what we’ve learned in class.

You MUST use a loop. You MUST use a list. You MUST follow the directions above.
Sample output:
[74, 19, 20, 67, 77, 38]
Total: 295
Average: 49.167
