      Pandas is a commonly used library in Python, which is used to analyse and manipulate data.
      NumPy is a package in the Python library, where you can use this package for scientific computing to work with arrays.
      An array is a data structure that stores various elements or items at contiguous memory locations.
      A matrix is a two dimensional (2D) array where data (elements/items) is stored in the format of rows and columns.
      Visualization is the process to represent data and information in a graphical form.
      Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) enables you to uncover patterns and insights frequently with visual methods within some data.
    • Statistics Foundations: Basic/Descriptive Statistics, Distributions (Binomial, Poisson, etc.), Bayes, Inferential Statistics
      Descriptive Statistics is a method that helps you study data analysis using multiple data sets by describing and summarizing them. For example, the data set can either be a collection of the population in a neighbourhood or the marks a sample of 100 students achieved.
      A Distribution is a statistical function used to report all the probable values that a random variable takes within a certain range.
      Bayes Theorem is a mathematical formula that is named after Thomas Bayes. This theorem helps you determine conditional probability.
      Inferential Statistics is a method that lets you explore basic concepts on using data for estimation and assess theories with the help of Python.
