We live in a world of big data, and someone needs to make sense of all this data. In this course, you will learn to efficiently analyze data, formulate hypotheses, and generally reason about what the ocean of data out there is telling you.

We live in a world of big data: huge amounts of data generated by social networks, governments, consumers and markets. Someone needs to make sense of all this data. In this course, Statistics Foundations: Understanding Probability and Distributions, you will learn the fundamental topics essential for understanding probability and statistics. First, you will have an introduction to set theory, a non-rigorous introduction to probability, an overview of key terms and concepts of statistical research. Then, you will discover different statistical distributions, discrete and continuous random variables, probability density functions, and moment generating functions. Finally, you will use key distribution measures such as mean and variance, and explore topics of covariance and correlation. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to look at data and reason about it in terms of its descriptive statistics and possible distributions.
