1. array.percentile(sorted_list, percent [, key=lambda x: x]) function returns the desired percentile (as defined by percent) from a sorted list of numbers:

• • For the list of numbers, line 4 returns the 10^th percentile.

  • The line 6 returns the 50^th percentile.
  • The line 7 returns the 75^th percentile.
  • The line 8 returns the 99^th percentile.

2. func.get_smooth_step_function(min_val, max_val, switch_point, smooth_factor) function returns a function that moves smoothly...
