Basic Statistics for AI: Build the Foundation for ML
About this course
Statistics is the language of data — and data is the foundation of every Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) system.If you’ve ever wondered how models make predictions, detect anomalies, or recommend products, it all starts with statistics.This course — Basic Statistics for AI: Build the Foundation for Machine Learning — is designed to give you a complete understanding of the math and statistics concepts that drive AI models, even if you’re starting from scratch.You’ll learn not just formulas, but also why each concept matters and how it connects to real-world AI applications like spam detection, recommendation systems, and predictive modeling. What You’ll LearnUnderstand why statistics is essential for AI and ML, and how it powers data-driven decision-making.Identify and analyze different types of data — numerical, categorical, and ordinal.Differentiate between population and sample and learn how sampling impacts AI modeling.Master descriptive statistics — mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation, quartiles, and percentiles.Learn how to visualize data using histograms, box plots, and scatter plots to uncover patterns and outliers.Build a strong foundation in probability theory — understand random variables, independence, dependence, and conditional probability.Apply Bayes’ theorem to real AI problems like spam detection and recommendations.Discover how probability distributions like binomial, Poisson, and normal distributions explain real-world AI events.Explore the Central Limit Theorem and how it enables statistical inference in large datasets.
