Question

How are statistics and empirical probablity related? What is a specific scientific decision?

Answer 1

Statistics is a mathematical method of determining trends and deviations from trends via probabilities. Essentially no results are absolutely certain, there is always a probability of alpha or beta errors. However, from the data, you can make a specific decision to accept or reject the null hypothesis.
