Prepping for the DP Binomial Distribution

You'll be revisiting exercises from Chapter 1, where you generated synthetic data from probability distributions. However, this time, you'll be applying the Laplace mechanism to add differentially private (DP) noise. First, you'll calculate the statistics of interest, and then assign epsilon and calculate the global sensitivity.

Find the proportion (or percent) of participants who had both an accident/trauma and surgical intervention.
Assign the total number of observations to n.
Set the value of epsilon such that your initial privacy budget is 0.1 while taking into account the differentially private properties.
Calculate the global sensitivity of proportions (remember the number of observations is part of the calculation).
