This page was inspired from the following `Wikipedia page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notation_in_probability_and_statistics>`_.

=====================
A *population* is the entire population that you want to analyze. It is a exhaustive set. A *sample* is a subset of the population. It is a non-exhaustive set.
.. note::
TODO add figure
*Statistics* allows you to infers properties on a population using samples with a certain degree of confidence.
