Abstract
Abstract We begin this chapter with a very successful demonstration illustrating many of the general principles of statistical inference, including estimation, bias, and the concept of the sampling distribution. We then present various demonstrations and examples that take the students on the transition from probability to hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and more advanced concepts such as statistical power and multiple comparisons.
