Exercise

Setting Epsilon and Global Sensitivity

In these exercises, you'll first be calculating the global sensitivity of your multiple queries and correctly assigning the value of epsilon before applying the Laplace mechanism. For the Male Fertility Data (fertility), your queries are:

How many participants were evaluated in winter?
How many participants were evaluated in spring?
How many participants were evaluated in summer?
How many participants were evaluated in fall?

Instructions
