Warm-Up Statistics Exercise for "Discovery of the Z Boson"

Here, we do a statistics warm-up exercise to go along with the video

Discovery of the Z Boson:
   • The Discovery of the Z Boson  

In a simplified scenario, we see how to determine if an experimental result in particle physics satisfies the 5-sigma convention for discovery. This should also be useful for the other videos in the playlist
