Lab 4, Exercise 4.1, disrepancy of the result
In the solution (2) it is said, I quote:
"You should see all the requests being sent, but a smaller number of responses."
Actually, both requests and replies are getting dropped:
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on lo, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for the input.
Yes, netem is dropping output packets. We can see from your ping response that only some of the packes recieved successful replys. What we cannot see is the application "ping" sending the requests that are getting dropped by netem.
Perhaps a better method is to use:
iptables -A INPUT -m statistic --mode random --probability .4 -i lo -j DROP
However if you have existing iptables or firewalld rules set this could cause a problem.
This will be corrected in the next version of the class, thank you for the input.
