Exercise

Running experiments on the toy model

In the previous exercise, you used test_scores() for a variety of inputs. In this exercise, you'll use test_scores() in a more systematic way: to carry out a series of small experiments. You'll set the inputs and draw your conclusions from the outputs. (Tip: Use the up arrow to cycle through previous commands at the prompt.)

  1. Find the output of test_scores() for a student in a public school with zero academic and zero religious motivation.
  2. Find the output when the academic motivation is changed to 1.
  3. Same, but put academic motivation back to zero and change the religious motivation to 1.
  4. Same, but now change the school to "private".
  5. Use the results to make an educated guess of the impact of the three input variables on test scores.

Which of these statements is false?
