Orders of more than 10 basket products

Recall that the order in which dependent events occur affects conditional probability.

In this exercise, you will need to use the image to calculate the conditional probability that an order from the online retail dataset will be for more than 10 items, given the order is for Basket products.

Summary statistics gives you the tools you need to describe your data. In this chapter, you'll explore summary statistics including mean, median, and standard deviation, and learn how to accurately interpret them. You'll also develop your critical thinking skills, allowing you to choose the best summary statistics for your data.

Exercise 1: What is statistics?Exercise 2: Using statistics in the real-world Exercise 3: Identifying data types Exercise 4: Descriptive vs. Inferential statistics Exercise 5: Measures of center Exercise 6: Typical number of robberies per London Borough Exercise 7: Choosing a measure Exercise 8: London Boroughs with most frequent crimes Exercise 9: Measures of spread Exercise 10: Defining measures of spread Exercise 11: Box plots for measuring spread Exercise 12: Which crime has the larger standard deviation

Probability underpins a large part of statistics, where it is used to calculate the chance of events occurring. You'll work with real-world sales data and learn how data with different values can be interpreted as a probability distribution. You'll find out about discrete and continuous probability distributions, including the discovery of the normal distribution and how it occurs frequently in natural events!

Exercise 7: Discrete distributions Exercise 8: Identifying distributions Exercise 9: Sample mean vs. Theoretical mean Exercise 10: Continuous distributions Exercise 11: Discrete vs. Continuous distributions Exercise 12: Finding the normal distribution Exercise 13: Probability with a uniform distribution

It's time to explore more probability distributions. You'll learn about the binomial distribution for visualizing the probability of binary outcomes, and one of the most important distributions in statistics, the normal distribution. You'll see how distributions can be described by their shape, along with discovering the Poisson distribution and its role in calculating the probabilities of events occuring over time. You'll also gain an understanding of the central limit theorem!

In the final chapter, you'll be introduced to hypothesis testing and how it can be used to accurately draw conclusions about a population. You'll discover correlation and how it can be used to quantify a linear relationship between two variables. You'll find out about experimental design techniques such as randomization and blinding. You'll also learn about concepts used to minimize the risk of drawing the wrong conclusion about the results of hypothesis tests!
