Commenters describe it as a free introductory stats course that Udacity recommends before its AI nanodegree, and one commenter took it to brush up stats skills for a career in data analytics.

    I completely agree. Udacity was the one that helped me move into my career in data analytics. I took Thrun's excellent Intro to Stats[1] class to brush up my Stats skills along with some other courses such as Intro to Descriptive Stats[2] and Intro to Inferential Stats[3].

    Udacity has two free introductory statistics courses that they recommend prior to starting their AI nanodegree program:

    Intro to Descriptive Statistics [https://www.udacity.com/course/intro-to-descriptive-statisti...]

    Intro to Inferential Statistics [https://www.udacity.com/course/intro-to-inferential-statisti...]

    Khan Academy also has very in-depth coverage of statistics, starting from the basics. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/statistics-probability
