Statistical inference is the process of drawing inferences or conclusions from data using statistical techniques. This is at the core of data analytics and data science, and a strong understanding of statistics from the beginning is the prime ingredient for a competent data analyst. In this unit, you will cover the fundamentals of sampling, statistical distribution, hypothesis testing, and variance analysis and use Python and R code to carry out various statistical tests and draw inferences from their output.
