Why Probability and Statistics?
I believe the true allure to studying statistics is the fact that it can be applied to any real life situation. The application of statistics in terms of data science can be used to promote efficiency of past or current processes. With a combination of probability, I strongly believe that statistics can even be used to predict the future!
I am actively seeking an opportunity to utilize knowledge and passion in probability and statistics to apply to data science. I will appreciate any opportunities that will give me an experience of what it’s like to apply the knowledge I learned as an undergraduate to real world examples.
