P robability is a concept widely used in conversation. We look
at various ideas of what probability is, and in particular the
Bayesian and Frequentist approaches. Most of the examples
used are from everyday life. We also consider how these ideas
affect statistical techniques used in analyzing data. This lecture
should be accessible to people with little or no experience of
statistical analysis.
