Probability and Statistics

Probability and statistics are fields that deal with uncertainty and data analysis. In number theory, probability helps us understand how likely certain numerical patterns or properties are, such as the distribution of prime numbers. Statistics, on the other hand, allows us to collect, analyze, and interpret data to draw conclusions. Together, these disciplines provide tools for making informed decisions based on numerical evidence, helping to identify trends, make predictions, and test hypotheses in various contexts, from gambling to cryptography, emphasizing the role of chance and uncertainty in numerical relationships.
