The chapters in this book have traced the origin and development of some of the major ideas and applications of statistics. A large part of this history has to do with inference about the mean of a distribution. In stating a confidence interval or testing a hypothesis about a mean based on sample data, the usual classical technique is to use the Student t-distribution. Indeed, Gosset’s discovery of this distribution in 1908 was a major step forward in the history of statistics.
