Understand the foundations of probability and its relationship to statistics and data science. We’ll learn what it means to calculate a probability, independent and dependent outcomes, and conditional events. We’ll study discrete and continuous random variables and see how this fits with data collection. We’ll end the course with Gaussian (normal) random variables and the Central Limit Theorem and understand its fundamental importance for all of statistics and data science.

Лучшие отзывы о курсе PROBABILITY THEORY: FOUNDATION FOR DATA SCIENCE
Need to brush up integral calculus for thios course. Something I haven't looked at for 40 years.
This is an excellent course to review foundational probability concepts. The instructor speaks clearly and goes through examples thoroughly for each concept.
This is a great course on probability. Although I felt like it was too easy and should include more PDFs (such as Beta and Gamma) and random variable transformations.
The instructor is very good, more examples need to be added, there are mistakes in the evaluation
