Let's play cards

You have a regular deck of 52 well-shuffled playing cards. The deck consists of 4 suits, and there are 13 cards in each suite: ranks 2 through 10, a jack, a queen, a king, and an ace. This means that in the whole deck of 52, there are four of each distinct rank: four aces, four kings, four tens, four fives, etc.

Since there are 52 distinct cards, the probability of drawing any one particular card is 1/52. Using the two rules of probability you've learned about in the last video, calculate the probabilities of drawing some specific combinations of cards, as described in the instructions.

Take your first steps in the Bayesian world. In this chapter, you’ll be introduced to the basic concepts of probability and statistical distributions, as well as to the famous Bayes' Theorem, the cornerstone of Bayesian methods. Finally, you’ll build your first Bayesian model to draw conclusions from randomized coin tosses.

It’s time to look under the Bayesian hood. You’ll learn how to apply Bayes' Theorem to drug-effectiveness data to estimate the parameters of probability distributions using the grid approximation technique, and update these estimates as new data become available. Next, you’ll learn how to incorporate prior knowledge into the model before finally practicing the important skill of reporting results to a non-technical audience.

Apply your newly acquired Bayesian data analysis skills to solve real-world business challenges. You’ll work with online sales marketing data to conduct A/B tests, decision analysis, and forecasting with linear regression models.

In this final chapter, you’ll take advantage of the powerful PyMC3 package to easily fit Bayesian regression models, conduct sanity checks on a model's convergence, select between competing models, and generate predictions for new data. To wrap up, you’ll apply what you’ve learned to find the optimal price for avocados in a Bayesian data analysis case study. Good luck!
