In this chapter, we will briefly talk about Scientific Library for Python (SciPy), which is the scientific toolbox for Python. We will get a brief overview of the statistics subpackage and we will use it to perform many statistical calculations, including calculations of probabilities, probability distributions, and confidence intervals. We will also perform hypothesis testing on a real-world dataset, and we will be able to state conclusions that go beyond the sample that we have.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- SciPy
- Statistics
- Probabilities
- Hypothesis testing
- Performing statistical tests
