Go to course ↗

An introductory statistics course taught by Sebastian Thrun, covering basic descriptive and inferential statistics. The course named by the poster is Coursera's Introduction to Statistics, but commenters mostly discuss the Udacity course of the same general name and a Coursera archived course with video lectures.

Commenters describe it as an informative, easy-to-follow introduction to basic statistics, and one calls Thrun's version excellent for brushing up skills.

    I've been going through this series of video lectures on Youtube:

    for a basic "Stats 101" course.

    There's also this archived Coursera course. There aren't any active sections to sign up for, but the videos are still available:
