Chapter 2 Sec 1.1: Analyzing a Process Probability

In this chapter, you will begin to analyze results from statistical studies and focus on the process of statistical inference. In particular, you will learn how to assess evidence against a particular claim about a random process.
In this first investigation you will be introduced to a basic statistical investigation as well as some ideas and terminology that you will utilize throughout the course. You will combine ideas from the preliminary investigations: examining distributions of data and simulating models of random processes to help judge how unusual an observation would be for a particular probability model.
