Intellectually Curious

About

Step into the 18th‑century jar that became the backbone of modern decision‑making. We unpack sampling with replacement, independence, and the law of large numbers, showing how this tiny thought experiment underpins clinical trials, A/B testing, Bayesian reasoning, and even models of viral growth. From noise to signal, learn how observing long enough turns luck into knowledge—and why data, not guesswork, matters in medicine, business, and tech.
