34.5.2 Estimating Probability from Sample Frequency
Core idea
The more times you flip a coin, the closer the frequency of heads sits to the true probability 0.5, and that's the stability of frequency
Module goal. Understand why a small sample can speak for a large population, build the ideas of estimation and sampling variability, and prepare the ground for correlation and testing
