As it turns out, there are some specific distributions that are used over and over in practice for e.g. Normal Distribution, Binomial Distribution, Poisson Distribution, Exponential Distribution etc.
There is a random experiment behind each of these distributions. Since these random experiments model a lot of real life phenomenon, these special distribution are used in different applications like Machine Learning, Neural Network, Data Science etc.
That is why they have been given a special names and we devote a course "Master Complete Statistics For Computer Science - II" to study them.
After learning about special probability distribution, the second half of this course is devoted for data analysis through inferential statistics which is also referred to as statistical inference.
Technically speaking, the methods of statistical inference help in generalizing the results of a sample to the entire population from which the sample is drawn.
