Hi authors/maintainers,
First of all, thanks for this great resource! I truly enjoyed following this specialization on Coursera.
In the fifth course, Modeling Data in the Tidyverse, corresponding to chapter 5 in the book, I seem to have found a small mistake. i.e.: when analyzing the
treesdataset (line 703 and further), girth is used as dependent variable and height as independent, even though we want to infer height from girth and even though the opposite is correctly stated on line 712 ("In this case, since we're asking if we can inferheightfromgirth,girthis the independent variable andheightis the dependent variable. In other words, we're asking doesheightdepend ongirth?").I decided to contribute the solution for this, in 2 commits:
Many thanks in advance for considering this pull request.
