DISCUSSION 1:

In the video link below, Dr. Murali Haran explains how statistical thinking can help us navigate our complicated world, from making better decisions in our personal lives to investigating two of the significant challenges of our times: climate change and the spread of infectious diseases. After watching the video, write a 3 paragraphs reflection from the video supporting or refuting his conclusions with evidence from the module/textbook.

DISCUSSION 2:

A consumer protection agency is testing a sample of cans of tomato soup from a company. Suppose they find evidence that this company's average chemical bisphenol A (BPA) level in tomato soup is more significant than 100 ppb (parts per billion). In that case, they will recall all the soup and sue the company. a). State the null and alternative hypotheses (use statistics symbols/notations). b). What does a Type I error mean in this situation? c). What does a Type II error mean in this situation? d). Which is more serious, a Type I or a Type II error?

(There is no correct answer to this one. It is a matter of opinion, and one could argue either way. Discuss and analyze your choice in three paragraphs, making inferences from what you have learned during the semester about statistics.)

DISCUSSION 1: Reflection on Dr. Murali Haran's Video
In the video, Dr. Murali Haran describes how statistics applied to complex global issues, as well as to vital ones such as the spread of infectious diseases and climate change. Haran describes instances to substantiate that statistics might be utilised to establish a conceptual model in terms of handling randomness, looking for patterns and making wiser decisions. This viewpoint correlates with the manner in which statistics is presented within the context of scientific research in the textbook: In the first chapter of this text, it is explained how statistical methods are crucial in hypothesis formation and during the selection of experiment strategies and assessment of results. Haran builds a very good and convincing argument to support the methodology through pointing out that there should be a statistical method to regulate uncertain and produce forecasts based on fact.
The textbook goes further to explain several statistical methods employed in analyzing the climate data and is crucial is such processes as the identification of trends in climate change, hence supporting the findings made by Haran. For example, there is a chapter on Time Series Analysis in the textbook; which is useful when investigating changes in climatic variables across different time duration. All these forms bear support for the assertion by Haran that through statistical models,
