Foundations of Probability in R Data Camp

Overview

Context

Probability is the study of making predictions about random phenomena.

In this Foundations of Probability in R course offered by Data Camp, you'll gain intuition for how to solve probability problems through random simulation. These principles will help you understand statistical inference and can be applied to draw conclusions from data.

What you will learn during this course:

• You'll learn to combine multiple probabilities, such as the probability two events both happen or that at least one happens, and confirm each with random simulations. You'll also learn some of the properties of adding and multiplying random variables
• Bayesian statistics is a mathematically rigorous method for updating your beliefs based on evidence. You'll learn to apply Bayes' theorem to draw conclusions about whether a coin is fair or biased, and back it up with simulations.
