1. The function below is meant to return the middle reading and leave the caller's list alone. The caller passes readings = [9, 2, 7, 4, 5], prints the median, and then prints readings. ``

python
def median(values):
    values.sort()
    return values[len(values) // 2]

readings = [9, 2, 7, 4, 5]
print(median(readings))
print(readings)

`` What is the bug?

The middle index should be len(values) // 3Python lists have no sort method, so the call must be sorted(values)values.sort() changes the caller's list in place. Use sorted(values) to get a new sorted list and leave the caller's list alonemedian must return a float, so the sort changes the return type

2. What does this program print? ``

python
def count_items(*items):
    return len(items)

print(count_items([1, 2, 3]))

``

31An error, because count_items takes no list0

3. Python has a built-in ordered type that cannot be changed after it is made, and it is often used for a fixed set of values passed to a function. What is its name? Write one word.

Type your answer.

4. What happens when this program runs? ``

python
def show(*items, count):
    print(count)

show(1, 2, 3)

``

It runs and prints 3SyntaxError: count must come before *itemsIt prints NoneTypeError: show() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'count'

5. What does this program print? ``

python
class Team:
    def __init__(self, names):
        self.members = names

names = ["Ana", "Ben"]
team = Team(names)
names[1] = "Changed"
print("team sees:", team.members)

``

team sees: ['Ana', 'Changed']team sees: ['Ana', 'Ben']team sees: ['Changed', 'Ben']team sees: ['Ana', 'Ben', 'Changed']
