Questions about probability occur regularly in everyday conversations as well as in statistics classes. In this chapter we discuss what statisticians mean by the term probability and how we use it in statistical analyses. From the questions on page 177, you can see that the word probability has to do with the chance, or likelihood, or degree of certainty that some event will happen, and that the term is used well beyond the scope of statistics.
