Stats 1 covers describing data and the probability needed to reason about it. It is conceptually gentle but notation-heavy, and the distributions introduced near the end reappear in almost every later course.
Where marks go: Most errors are setup errors, not arithmetic: deciding which distribution a situation calls for is the part worth drilling.
One Quiz 1 collection, one Quiz 2 collection and one end term collection.

There are 3 items for Statistics for Data Science 1, an IITM BS Foundation level subject. One Quiz 1 collection, one Quiz 2 collection and one end term collection. Everything opens directly, with no account needed.
Yes. Everything on EduVerse is free to open and free to download. There is no paywall, no sign-up requirement for the study material, and nothing is held back behind an account.
No. The files are hosted on Google Drive and open in a new tab without signing in to EduVerse. Signing in is only needed for features that save things to your own account.
Attempt a paper under exam conditions before you look at any solution — timed, closed book, in one sitting. A paper you have read through is worth very little; a paper you have sat tells you exactly which topics you cannot do yet. Save at least one recent paper for the week of the exam.
Exact questions rarely repeat, but question patterns do — the same topics tend to be examined in the same style and at the same depth. Use past papers to learn the shape of the exam rather than to collect answers.
No. EduVerse is an independent, student-run site and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to IIT Madras. Where anything here disagrees with the official course material or the institute's own announcements, the institute is right.
This collection was last revised in April 2026. Syllabi and assessment patterns change between terms, so check the topic list on this page against your own course page before relying on it. If something is out of date, tell us and we will update or remove it.
The files live on Google Drive, and sharing permissions occasionally change or a file gets moved. Report it on the contact page with the page address and we will re-point or replace the link. Broken links get looked at before anything else.
Yes, and it is how the library grows. Use the submit page to send a file or a link. Contributions are reviewed before they are published, and material you do not have the right to share will not be accepted.
Still stuck? Ask us — or send material if you have something this page is missing.
