Course Description
Data science is based on statistics which, in turn, steps on the foundations that probability laid out. Learning probability is arguably one of the most crucial skills for success in the business world. The reason is that developing probabilistic thinking and being able to assess risks and possible outcomes are key skills business executives need to navigate an uncertain environment. So, congratulations, you have come to the right place. If you take this probability course, you will acquire a probabilistic mindset - a critical skill when making strategic decisions and solving complex problems. Our probability class will teach you how to analyze data effectively and make predictions with confidence. You'll learn to apply probability models to real-world situations, enabling you to interpret and manage the uncertainties that define today's business landscape. Probability is not difficult. Once you are inside our probability course, you will see that for yourself. We will not ask you to read hundreds of pages of dry theory or provide a random collection of PowerPoint slides. Instead, the videos we’ve created are engaging, practical, concise, and most importantly fun to watch. We leverage storytelling and real-world examples to ensure you will watch until the end of the course. The interactive exercises in our probability training will ensure that you have a chance to practice what has been explained in the lessons hands-on. This course is the best way to learn probability and ensure you will get the desired results. This probability course is suitable for university students who need probability for their studies. It is also highly recommended for graduates and young professionals who want to improve their decision-making and quantitative skills. Even if you haven’t learned any probability before, don’t worry. This intro to probability course is designed to guide you from the ground up. Join us on a journey that will introduce you to combinatorics, Bayesian inference, and the different types of distributions. Gain the quant skills to use inferential statistics and work with the normal distribution. By completing the course, you will be able to use the Bayes theorem and calculate probabilities with confidence. How is this probability for data science course different than the rest? 1. Content quality The course instructor and our team have spent months of research and prep work to create an optimal curriculum that ensure everything you see in the probability course is necessary and useful. Our step-by-step approach ensures you will be able to understand and apply probability concepts confidently.

Curriculum
- 2. Combinatorics12 Lessons 44 Min
This section is designed to teach you what combinatorics is and where we encounter it in life. We will consider the three central concepts in combinatorics – permutations, variations, and combinations – and you’ll learn how to calculate each of these with the correct formulas.

Bayesian Inference12 Lessons 54 Min
Here you will learn how to describe events and the ways they interact with one another. We introduce important concepts like intersections, unions, and conditional probability. Then we focus on Bayes’ Law and how to use it to interpret the relationships between the possible outcomes of various events.

Discrete Distributions7 Lessons 33 Min
In this section of the probability for data science course, you will learn to determine what kind of distribution a dataset follows. This is crucial in making accurate predictions about the future. We talk about the possible values a random variable can take and how frequently they occur. We introduce well-known distributions and events that follow them, and then proceed to discuss each common distribution in greater detail.

A Hamilton College graduate, Viktor has a strong analytics background, focusing on the fields of Statistics, Econometrics, Financial Time-Series Econometrics, and Behavioral Economics. Viktor’s coding experience is rather diverse – from working with C, C++, and Python through to the more math/econ-oriented MATLAB and STATA. He has been fascinated by coding algorithms since the age of 11 and describes himself as a “Bachelor of Science and overall cool guy”. We couldn’t agree more. Some of Viktor’s personal achievements include developing a model for forecasting transfer prices of soccer players across Europe’s top divisions and Stock Market Indexes analysis on the effects of contagion on the effectiveness of international portfolio diversification.
