Practicing Statistic

This document discusses preparing for a statistics interview by practicing common statistical topics in Python. It covers conditional probabilities, Bayes' theorem, probability tree diagrams, and an example problem. It also discusses the central limit theorem, the law of large numbers, simulating the CLT in Python, and using list comprehensions. Finally, it discusses probability distributions, common distributions like binomial and normal, and visualizing distributions in Python. The goal is to help interview candidates feel comfortable with statistics concepts and Python code related to probabilities and distributions.
