DISCUSSION 1:
In the video link below, Dr. Murali Haran explains how statistical thinking can help us navigate our complicated world, from making better decisions in our personal lives to investigating two of the significant challenges of our times: climate change and the spread of infectious diseases. After watching the video, write a 3 paragraphs reflection from the video supporting or refuting his conclusions with evidence from the module/textbook.

DISCUSSION 2:
A consumer protection agency is testing a sample of cans of tomato soup from a company. Suppose they find evidence that this company's average chemical bisphenol A (BPA) level in tomato soup is more significant than 100 ppb (parts per billion). In that case, they will recall all the soup and sue the company. a). State the null and alternative hypotheses (use statistics symbols/notations). b). What does a Type I error mean in this situation? c). What does a Type II error mean in this situation? d). Which is more serious, a Type I or a Type II error?
(There is no correct answer to this one. It is a matter of opinion, and one could argue either way. Discuss and analyze your choice in three paragraphs, making inferences from what you have learned during the semester about statistics.)
