1. Murder rates

The murder_rates table isn't enough to demonstrate an *association* between crimes and punishments. We would like to check for an association between murder rates and the existence of capital punishment, for each pair of a state and a year.
​
**Question 1.1.** <br/>What additional information will we need before we can check for that association? Assign extra_info to a Python list (i.e. [#] or [#, #, ...]) containing the number(s) for all of the additional facts below that we *require* in order to check for association.
​
1) What year(s) the death penalty was introduced in each state (if any).
​
2) Day to day data about when murders occurred.
​
3) What year(s) the death penalty was abolished in each state (if any).
​
4) Rates of other crimes in each state.

extra_info =...
extra_info

I'm not too sure how to create a list containing all this information.

For example: from the table above how do I know if there was a death penalty in that state?

Hi Larz,

I actually misunderstood the question.

They are just asking to choose between 1-4.

for example: extra_info = [1, 3]
