Practise probability, distributions, sampling, and hypothesis tests with business and analytics examples.

Connect linear algebra, calculus intuition, optimization, regression, and error metrics to machine learning decisions.

Hands-on labs

Calculate mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation, percentiles, and interquartile range for a dataset.

Simulate probability events and compare empirical results with expected probabilities.

Run a hypothesis test and explain p-value, confidence interval, statistical significance, and practical significance.

Use vectors and matrices to represent features, weights, predictions, and transformations.

Fit a simple regression model and calculate residuals, mean squared error, and R-squared.

Practice questions

Why can the median be better than the mean for skewed income or price data?

The median is less affected by extreme outliers, so it can better represent the typical value in a skewed distribution.

What does standard deviation measure?

Standard deviation measures how spread out values are around the mean; larger values indicate more variability.

Why is linear algebra important in machine learning?

Datasets, model weights, transformations, embeddings, and predictions are often represented and computed using vectors and matrices.
