2 · Graded exercise
Time to find out what stuck. Six questions, rising difficulty, about the EU Media Habits dataset. The notebook checks each answer instantly and keeps score — and every question has a hint function if you’re stuck.
Rules of engagement:
- Write real code — don’t guess numbers by eye from earlier outputs.
- Use
hint_qN()before giving up. Struggling productively is the exercise. - Run
datalab_score()at the end to see your total.
Question 6 is the one most analysts skip: checking whether a group’s number is solid enough to publish. A short written reflection at the end goes into your DataLab portfolio.
The DataLab's lessons were updated since your last visit, so this notebook now shows the new version. Your saved portfolio is not affected.
The notebook above runs entirely in your browser — nothing is installed and nothing leaves your device. Your changes are kept in this browser. First load takes a few seconds while Python starts.
Scored 6/6?
Section titled “Scored 6/6?”Congratulations — that was a genuine exploratory analysis, done unaided. Continue to Track 3 — train your first classifier.
