ABSTRACT

Probability is currently used in numerous domains, ranging from quantum physics to information theory, and even older fields are using probability now that “noise” is formally acknowledged. Many disciplines’ newer parts begin with the admitting of uncertainties.

In mathematics, statistics has had an even slower adoption than probability. Despite this, numbers play an important role in our daily lives. Statistical data comes from surveys, polls, and even lab trials in which we have accepted that randomness is the basis of our worldview, rather than the deterministic worldview.
