Probability Theory Courses

Courses in Probability Theory can help you learn statistical reasoning, random variables, and probability distributions. You can build skills in hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and decision-making under uncertainty. Many courses introduce tools like R, Python, and Excel, that support analyzing data and modeling real-world phenomena. You'll explore key topics such as Bayes' theorem, expected value, and the law of large numbers, all of which are crucial for applications in fields like finance, engineering, and artificial intelligence.
