1. Predictable or random?
Laboratories are faced with two main types of phenomenon.
predictable phenomena (including systematic phenomena) ;
random phenomena.
1.1 Definition of foreseeable phenomena
A predictable phenomenon is one whose behavior is known. For each observation, its value can be "predicted".
Pedagogical example: a static die on a table. If the die is never rolled, its value is known at each observation; it is systematic, the die being, in this example, immobile.
