Solve simple problems using axioms of probability, conditional probability, independence, and Bayes' theorem

Title

Experimental Design

Learning Outcome

Understand the basics of experimental design, including the definition of the experimental unit, response, variable, factor(s), and level(s) of a basic experiment, and the role of randomization and replication to permit causal inference
