ABSTRACT
Science, as a way of understanding the world around us, has for centuries encompassed the classification, ordering, and measuring of plants, characteristics of the earth, animals, and humans. Humans by their very nature have attempted to understand, explain, and predict phenomena in the world around them. When individuals, objects, or events are described as a well-defined, infinite population, random sampling and probability statistics can play a role in drawing conclusions about the population. The problem in Science is essentially one of drawing conclusions about the characteristics of infinitely large populations.
