| + | * **Probability** is starting with an animal, and figuring out what footprints it will make | ||
| + | * **Statistics** is seeing a footprint, and guessing the animal. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Probability is straightforward: you have the bear. Measure the foot size, the leg length, and you can deduce the footprints. "Oh, Mr. Bubbles weighs 400lbs and has 3-foot legs, and will make tracks like this." More academically: "We have a fair coin. After 10 flips, here are the possible outcomes." | ||
| + | |||
| + | Statistics is harder. We measure the footprints and have to guess what animal it could be. A bear? A human? If we get 6 heads and 4 tails, what're the chances of a fair coin?# | ||
