    This document provides an overview of statistical inference and discusses three foundational distributions. It defines a statistic as a function of variables observed from a sample, with the distribution of a statistic called a sampling distribution. Statistical inference uses probability to understand data from a sample. The rest of the section will discuss three distributions important for statistical inference.

    Overview

    A statistic is a function of the variables observed from a sample. In probability terminology, a statistic is a
    random variable; the distribution of a statistic is called a sampling distribution. Statistical inference revolves
    around the use of probability to shed light on observed data from a sample.

    The rest of this subsection will discuss three distributions that are foundational to statistical inference.
