Assessment: Stratification and Variance Explained, Part 2

comprehension Check

In the second part of this assessment, you'll analyze a set of mother and daughter heights, also from

GaltOnFamiIi es.

Define female_heights, a set of mother and daughter heights sampled from GaltonEami1ies, as follows:

set.seed(1989) #if you are using R 3.5 or earlier set.seed(1989, #if you are using R 3.6 or later library (HistData) dataC"GaItonFami lies " )

female_heights            Gal ton Fami I i filter(gender         "female")

ungroup select(mother, chi IdHeight) rename(daughter chi dHe ight)
