Exercise

Prepping for the DP Normal Distribution

Finally, you can generate differentially private synthetic data from a normal distribution. In this exercise, you'll be assigning epsilon and calculating the global sensitivity of your queries. Your queries are:

What is the average age?
What is the variance in age?

Recall that age is normalized from 0 to 1.

fertility is available in your workspace.

Set the value of epsilon using the initial privacy budget of 0.1 and taking into account the differentially private properties.
Assign n as the number of observations, a and b as the lower and upper bounds of age, respectively.
Calculate the global sensitivity of the mean and variance for age.
