Theory of probability

The theory of probability can fascinate your mind with its amazing applicability in the real world. In this course, we will cover the basics of the theory of probability. We will start our discussion with basic probability rules and then proceed to more complicated discrete and continuous probability distributions that are widely used to model events, time, and space. These probability distributions are heavily used in various disciplines, from chemistry to economics, and you will see why. This course will let you delve into the amazing and truly wonderful world of probabilities and their applications in the real world!
