Lab 02

Inference using mathematical models

Feb 02, 2026

Goals

  • Team workflow
  • Lab 02: Coffee ratings

Team workflow

  • Only one team member should type at a time. There are markers in today’s lab to help you determine whose turn it is to type.

    • Every team member should still be engaged in discussion for all questions, even if it’s not your turn type.
  • Don’t forget to pull to get your teammates’ updates before making changes to the .qmd file.

    Important

    Only one submission per team on Gradescope. Read the submission instructions carefully!

Team workflow, in action

  • Complete the “Workflow: Using Git and GitHub as a team” section of the lab in your teams.
  • Raise your hand if you have any questions about the workflow.

Tips for working on a team

  • Do not pressure each other to finish early; use the time wisely to really learn the material and produce a quality report.

  • The labs are structured to help you learn the steps of a data analysis. Do not split up the lab among the team members; work on it together in its entirety.

  • Everyone has something to contribute! Use the lab groups as an opportunity to share ideas and learn from each other.

Today’s lab

Today’s lab focuses on using statistical inference based on mathematical models to explore the relationship between coffee’s properties and the overall quality rating.
