About Statistics for Data Science 2

Stats 2 is about inference — what you are entitled to conclude about a population from a sample. The calculations are mechanical once the framing is right, so the subject rewards understanding what a test is claiming over memorising formulas.

Topics covered

  • Sampling and sampling distributions
  • Estimation and confidence intervals
  • Hypothesis testing
  • Errors, significance and power
  • Correlation and regression
  • Interpreting statistical conclusions

Where marks go: Answers lose marks for stating a conclusion the test does not support — be precise about the null hypothesis and about what rejecting it actually means.

How to use these Stats 2 DS notes

  1. 1Read with the official Stats 2 DS course material open beside you. These notes are a second explanation, not a replacement — where they skip something, the course content is the authority.
  2. 2Work the examples yourself rather than reading the solutions. Notes you have only read feel familiar in the exam without being usable.
  3. 3Keep one condensed set for the final days before a quiz, and do not try to re-read everything.
