Statistical Inference & Hypothesis Testing for Data Science

Posted on: 19th May 2026

Instructor: N/A • Language: N/A

Master statistical inference and hypothesis testing including p values, confidence intervals, t tests, ANOVA, Chi Square, and A/B testing for data science.

Description

In the world of data science, simply knowing what happened is not enough. You need to understand why it happened and what will happen next. Statistical inference provides the tools to extrapolate from a sample to an entire population, validate hypotheses, compare groups, and quantify uncertainty. This skill is critical for A/B testing, market research, quality control, and any scenario where you need to make informed choices under uncertainty. This course blends rigorous statistical theory with practical, intuitive explanations. You will master p values, confidence intervals, t tests, ANOVA, Chi Square tests, and the principles of A/B testing.

This Course Offers

  • Complete understanding of statistical inference and sampling concepts: Understand core concepts of statistical inference, populations, and samples. Differentiate between descriptive and inferential statistics effectively. Learn how to extrapolate from sample data to entire populations with quantified uncertainty.
  • Hypothesis testing formulation and interpretation: Formulate null and alternative hypotheses for various data science problems. Grasp the significance of p values and confidence intervals in decision making. Learn to avoid common statistical pitfalls and biases.
  • Statistical tests for different data types and research questions: Select the appropriate statistical test for different data types and research questions. Conduct t tests for comparing two groups, ANOVA for comparing multiple groups, and Chi Square tests for categorical data analysis.
  • A/B testing and experimental design: Understand the principles of A/B testing and design effective experiments. Learn how to apply hypothesis testing to real world business problems including product testing, marketing campaigns, and website optimization.

Why We Love This Course

  1. It demystifies complex statistical concepts. Many data scientists learn to run tests without understanding what they mean. This course provides clear, accessible explanations of p values, confidence intervals, and hypothesis tests, focusing on correct interpretation.
  2. The instructor brings academic and industry expertise. Muhammad Shafiq is a Data Scientist, AI and ML Engineer, University Lecturer, and Researcher with deep passion for Data Science and Statistical Inference.
  3. You learn when to use each test and how to interpret results correctly. The focus is not just performing tests, but understanding them. This conceptual foundation enables you to apply techniques effectively in real world data science projects.
  4. The skills are directly applicable to A/B testing and business decision making. Statistical inference is the backbone of data driven decision making. This course gives you the tools to design experiments, analyze results, and make recommendations with confidence.

Statistical inference is not optional for data scientists. It is the foundation of data driven decision making. The question is whether you want to master p values, confidence intervals, t tests, and A/B testing or continue applying techniques without truly understanding them.

Course Eligibility

  • Aspiring data scientists and data analysts looking to build a strong statistical foundation.
  • Business intelligence professionals who need to make data driven decisions.
  • Product managers and marketers who run A/B tests and need to interpret results correctly.
  • Anyone who works with data and wants to move beyond descriptive statistics to inferential methods.
  • Data science professionals who want to deepen their understanding of statistical inference.

Course Requirements

  • Basic understanding of descriptive statistics including mean, variance, and standard deviation is helpful.
  • Familiarity with basic probability concepts is beneficial.
  • No advanced mathematics is required. Concepts are explained intuitively.
  • Access to a computer with an internet connection.
  • A willingness to learn both the theory and practical application of hypothesis testing.
