The analytics power hour and the conductor's quiz are sponsored by conductrics. They help companies build industry leading experimentation software for aby testing, adaptive optimization, predictive targeting. All right, mo and tim, are you ready? Yes, sir. Not sure. I am oter. Well, tim, you are representing a listener, and i'm sure of that. And mo, you're representing listener lewis christmas, so good luck with them. Ll, right, you know what time it is. It's time for that quizzical query, the conundrum that stumps my two co hosts.

Our podcast junkie co-host heard the following statement on another podcast a while back when he was out for a jog: "I actually think the word 'uncertainty' is used in English in a very different way than the word 'uncertainty' is used in statistics." He almost ran into a tree (causation is unclear: he's not known for his gross motor skills, which may have been a confounder). Not only is that quote, essentially, the theme for this episode, but the person who said it, Dr. Rebecca Goldin from George Mason University, was our guest! And we are absolutely CERTAIN that it was every bit as enlightening a discussion as it was a fun one!
