[08x10] Intro to Probabilistic Programming in Julia using Turing.jl and Pluto

Get an Introduction to Probabilistic Programming in Julia by using the Turing.jl package and Pluto notebooks.
Start by getting a crash course on some Probability Distribution.
Then conduct a Coin Toss Experiment, once without using Turing.jl and then once with using Turing.jl.
By the end of this tutorial, you will understand the basic workflow of Probabilistic Programming and will understand the mechanics of using the Turing.jl package.
This is an intermediate-level Julia Programming Language coding tutorial.

Series Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge about coding with the Julia Programming Language is required.
Students should also know how to perform basic data analysis and data visualization using Julia.
Students should also be comfortable using Julia in VS Code and Pluto notebooks.
