The text begins with a "Math Toolkit," emphasizing that a chemical result is meaningless without a measure of its uncertainty. Harris introduces the F test early on to compare variances and explains hypothesis testing through relatable examples like epidemiology. This foundation ensures students understand quality assurance —getting the "right data" and getting the "data right".
