Below we see three different definitions of the word "random". Notice that the statistics definition differs from the other definitions of random used in general language and in building trades. Discuss how the "general" and "building trades" definitions of random differ from the "statistics" definition of random. Also discuss why these definitions create confusion for statistics students. For example, many people out in the world say they collected data "randomly" when it is not.

RANDOM

General Definition: Proceeding, made, or occurring without definite aim, reason, or pattern. For example: "I walked around the store and randomly picked a person to talk to".

Building Trades: lacking uniformity of dimensions. For example, random shingles.

Statistics Definition: Selecting individual people or objects from a population where every person or object in the population has an equal probability of being chosen.
