How should statistics be taught in the age of data science, big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), and sophisticated computational statistics algorithms and software? Chapter 9 ("Putting probability and statistics together") begins with a warning that the content of the chapter is challenging but worthwhile, and then introduces the key idea of treating statistics calculated from sample data as random variables with their own distributions.

Authors carefully examine the internal consistency of various censuses and compare with other demographic information and conclude that this is due to inflation of population estimates in successive censuses until 2001, resulting in an overestimation of Nagaland's population by as much as 36 percent.
