Update prob-and-stat.Rmd #125

These changes edit Chapter 5 so that the notation used there mimics the notation used in Chapters 8, Section 9.2.2, Section 17.3.6, and perhaps elsewhere (those were the sections where I saw the alternative notation used). Specifically, chapter 5 has \alpha/2 as an input to a function, whereas Chapters 8, section 9.2.2, and section 17.3.6 use \alpha/2 as a subscript. The actual notation used doesn't matter so much, but it should be consistent within a single text. So I chose to edit Chapter 5, since that seems to be the less frequently used notation.

I'd like to review this a bit more carefully, but great catch! Before merging, I'd like to preemptively add you to the acknowledgements, if you'd like. If so, how would you like your name to appear, and would you like me to link to anything other than your GitHub profile?

Also, it's been a while since I've looked at the related videos. Can you comment on if the notation is consistent in the videos? My hope is that I used the notation that I most commonly used in the book and you've caught the one place where I wasn't consistent.

Super! You can list me as Ellen Veomett, and can you please use this website: https://sites.google.com/a/stmarys-ca.edu/ellen-veomett/

Great question on the notational consistency in the videos. Thus far, I've only seen notation for t_{\alpha/2, n} appearing in the Interval Estimation and Hypothesis Testing videos from this week (I haven't gone beyond week 3). And it appears in that notation (not the t_n(\alpha/2) notation). So yes, it does seem that you used the most common notation in the book within the videos (at least, the first 3 week's videos ;) and so far it just seems that Ch 5 has the different notation. I'll certainly let you know if I see any inconsistencies with the notation in future videos.

Thanks, Ellen
