Hello Everyone! My name is Kei, lovely to meet you all and a little late in my introduction!

I'm currently doing a Masters in AI, a strategic career shift from 20 years experience in marketing and communications. This is my second term. I have recently started to work for a tech company here on the Gold Coast with the intention of my studies and my new job to inform my direction after I finish my course.

I have experience of only the very basics of stats/probability concepts. I look forward to learning!

Hello! I am Subodh from Darwin.

Hi, my name is Maddie. I am currently studying a Masters in AI, but previously I was a PhD student in structural and functional biology of proteins, specifically looking at developing a novel analgesic for chronic pain. I have not formally studied statistics since 2015, although since then I have been using statistics throughout my academic life in labs, my own experiments and I'm sure many other places.

I think something is random if it does not follow a pattern or preference.

My name is Muthu. I am an Engineering graduate with 16 years of experience in dealing with asset data. My day-to-day work involves exporting data from a database, compare it with other source data information, analyze and fix any anomalies and upload it back into the database. Also, I do lot of financial and work progress reports out of database for the management to

make informed decisions. I work full time and have enrolled into Master of Data science with LaTrobe Uni.

Hi, I’m Ron. I'm currently studying for a Master of Data Science and working as a solution architect in the IT industry, collaborating with various telecommunications and enterprise customers.

I’m pursuing this study to gain a deeper understanding of data science and see how it can enhance my current and future work.

I'm looking forward to learning and enjoying the subject this term.

I am Lucas. I have been working with a few companies around Melbourne developing biomedical instruments for the last 20 years. I have a software background but I am pretty rusty in a few areas so I am back doing a Masters of AI. I am really keen to do this subject and get a better understanding of statistics which I have a simple understanding of only.

Hi I'm Meena.

I'm working as a Developer studying Masters in AI to enhance my career. I have used basic statistics concepts in my job when generating reports or programming but not widely used. I'm keen to learn more in details.

Hello class. I am Juan, from Melbourne. I am doing a Masters in AI. I am an Artist. I work in Film. I have not statistics or math since Highschool. This will be a challenge! Fun times! But here we go!

I am a doctor in Queensland doing a Masters In AI.

I use a lot of statistics for work, in both reading and writing articles. I also have to talk about statistics in a relatable way to patients, so I am always looking to improve skills.

Something is random if it is not predictable or repeatable.

I'm Cory, a healthcare worker by background and currently enrolled in the Master of AI program.

Although we use a lot of statistics in my work, in terms of performing the calculations and analysis it's not something I've done since high school!

Looking forward to the term.

Hi, I'm Lily from Perth. I'm just starting my Master of Data Science at La Trobe. Before this, I studied Management Science and Engineering, where I got to do some research on dynamic pricing and optimization. And there are some probability and statistical relevant concepts used to deal with the uncertain demaind models. This work got me hooked on data science, so I'm here. Great to meet you all!

I'm Dani, I am studying my Masters in IT, specialising in AI. I touched on probability and statistics briefly (many years ago), during my undergraduate studies and learning Six Sigma. I have analysed data and reports as manager - but suspect I may have been able to extract additional insights, if I had a better understanding of the subject matter. Hence, I look forward to learning a lot from this subject! I think what makes something random is the absence of a recognisable pattern, that enables future results to be predicted.

I'm Ben and I'm currently studying my Master's in AI. I have been working as a Web Developer/Software Engineer for the better part of the last 15 years and am looking to upskill. I can't even remember the last time I would have looked at probability/statistics in any sort of educative way, maybe during my Bachelors or HSC. I might have used it a little bit in my career though, with the development of reporting tools etc, before the age of Google Analytics (so a while ago). Will have a bit to catch up on...

Hi everyone, my name is Nicholas. I work in customer insights and use statistics from a range of sources to analyse customer behaviour. I'm new to probability and am taking this Grad Cert in Data Science to upskill myself and progress my career in this field. I think something is random when there is no logical context surrounding it to explain its occurrence.

Hi everyone,

I'm Kirsty and I'm currently completing a Master of Data Science. At the moment I work full time as a Maths teacher in the UK meaning that aside from teaching secondary level probability I use probability and statistics to analyse and predict student results based on past data. I'm definitely keen to learn more and familiarise myself with R.

Dear All,

I am Raj pursuing Graduate Certificate in Data Science. On my work front, I am already working in data science domain, trying to up-skill myself and advance in my data discovery journey.

Hi all, I'm Kris and i'm currently studying the Master of AI.

I've worked in a few areas that have touched upon probability and statistical concepts such as Mental Health and Disaster Relief but believe that we can definitely do a better job of utilising data that is available to us and am keen to learn more in this space!

Hi! I'm Rachel and I'm doing the Master of Data Science. I've used probability and statistics during my psychology degree. I've used R and applied statistics when doing psychology research, albeit my skills are quite rusty so will need to brush them up.

I think what makes something 'random' is data that has no logical links or explanation/correlation.

a small amount of detail about yourself like your name

My name is Chris and hoping to finding work somewhere in the I.T industy in the next few years.

what experience you may have related to this subject

I have done some online MOOC subjects on R a few years ago, but I've likely forgotten most of what I learned. We'll find out!

the last time you worked or used any probability or statistical concepts.

I can't think of a specific example right now, but I know I think about statistics and probabilities quite frequently, especially when seeing news headlines about new research. I always want to know the details because usually the actual result is less convincing than it might seem. "You only have 10 people in your study? What's the likelihood you have an atypical sample group?" or you look and the result reported was relative rather than absolute etc.
