Is this course right for you?

Our take
A DataCamp course that sits right where coding meets analysis.

Good for: Adding practical statistics to your Python data skills.

Skip if: You do not know basic Python, or want deep statistical theory.

Over four hands-on chapters you compute summary statistics, reason about probability and the common distributions, and meet the basics of correlation and experimental design — all written in Python rather than described in the abstract. It assumes you already know some Python, so it's a poor first step if you don't, and too applied if you want deep statistical theory. It's on DataCamp's subscription (about $14/month billed annually, first chapter free to sample), with a completion certificate that's a learning record, not an accredited one. Statistical fundamentals like these stay put (as of 2026).

About this course

Introduction to Statistics in Python bridges coding and analysis. Over four hands-on chapters you compute summary statistics, reason about probability and common distributions, and learn the basics of correlation and experimental design — all in Python so the maths stays practical.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — basic Python is expected, since you compute the statistics in code. It rewards putting the ideas into practice, and what you learn transfers well beyond the specific examples used here.

No — it is applied and hands-on, focused on using statistics in Python rather than deriving the maths.

Yes — the first chapter is free; the rest needs a DataCamp subscription. It rewards putting the ideas into practice, and what you learn transfers well beyond the specific examples used here.

Around four hours. It rewards putting the ideas into practice, and what you learn transfers well beyond the specific examples used here.

Yes — a DataCamp certificate of completion is included with the subscription. It records what you completed rather than acting as an accredited qualification.
