HACKER Q&A
📣 BOOSTERHIDROGEN

Any books that focus on understanding hypothesis testing?


including probability distributions, confidence intervals, p-values(hacking (https://xkcd.com/882/) ), sampling and methods of conducting experiments? would like a book that explains intuitively and directly instead of having me extract them from examples.

Sounds like you want a book that would typically be titled "Design of Experiments" or "Experiment Design" or something similar. There are tons of them on the market[1][2][3][4], probably any mainstream one used for a university course on the subject would be adequate.

Here's a freely available book / lecture notes doc that covers some of the ground you're interested in.
