Abstract: Abstract By means of observations or measurements unknown parameters and confidence regions for the parameters will be estimated and hypotheses for the parameters will be tested. The observations are the results of random experiments and are random events. Because of the random nature of the observations the question arises as to the probability that these random events occur. This is the problem, which the theory of probability deals with; some basic results are presented in the sequel.
