Lecture 1

CO1: Apply the knowledge about the concepts of probability and statistics for the computer
applications
Introduction of Basic Statistics
What is Probability?
 Definition:
Probability theory is the study of the mathematical rules that govern random events.
 But what is randomness?
Informally, a random event is an event in which we do not know the outcome without
observing it. Probability tells us what we can say about such events, given our assumptions
about the possible outcomes.
What are Statistics?
 Definition
Statistics is the application of probability to the collection, analysis, and description of
random data.
 Statistics is used to:
 Design experiments
 Summarize data
 Make conclusions about the world
 Explore complex data

 Applications of Probability and Statistics


 Computer Science:
 Machine Learning
 Data Mining
 Artificial Intelligence
 Simulation
 Image Processing
 Computer Graphics
 Visualization
 Software Testing
