Random Variables

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 [...]

This course discusses properties and applications of random variables. For instance, how many customers are likely to arrive in the next hour? What’s the probability that a lightbulb will last more than a year? When you’re done with this course, you’ll have enough firepower to undertake a wide [...]

Learn probability, an essential language and set of tools for understanding data, randomness, and uncertainty. Probability and statistics help to bring logic to a world replete with randomness and uncertainty. This course will give you tools needed to understand data, science, philosophy, engineering, economics, and finance. [...]

This course provides an introduction to probability theory. You will encounter discrete and continuous random variables and learn in which situations they appear, what their properties are and how they interact. A strong foundation in mathematics is critical for success in all science and engineering disciplines. Whether you want [...]
