| This is general advice going forward but it makes sense to include it here: My advice is to start working through the programming challenges first. The programming challenges will only include material that we covered in the readings for the previous week.

| If you're having trouble loading up your dataset ('''PC2''') find me in the next day or so as you will only be able to do the other challenges once you've done that one.

| Let's take a look at this paper which is the second paper I published in graduate school (!):

Aarhus, Denmark: ACM. [[https://mako.cc/academic/buechley_hill_DIS_10.pdf PDF available on my personal website]]

| At the very least read enough of the paper to get a sense for what it's about and to understand Table 2 but we the questions here are all basically going to be drawn from that table. It might be expedient to read [https://mako.cc/copyrighteous/on-feminism-and-microcontrollers the blog post that I wrote about this]. Feel free to ignore all the stats or other stuff that's not relevant.

| Looking at data from the US, answer a few questions we ''didn't'' answer in the question but that seem like they might be interesting (I has basically only finished taking a class like this one at the time I wrote this this paper!)
| |
|
| |
| : '''Q7.''' Given that a US customer in the dataset has bought a LilyPad (either alone or in combination with a "normal" Arduino), what is the probability of that that they are female?
| |
| : '''Q8.''' Given that a US customer in the dataset is female, what is the probability that they bought a LilyPad (either alone or in combination with a "normal" Arduino)?
| |
| : '''Q9.''' In substantive terms, do these two numbers evidence of that the LilyPad design is successfully appealing to women? Ideally, you should be prepared to present at least one reason why and one one reason you might be skeptical.
