Course Outline
You will learn and understand edge detection and sharpening in the sampling technique of Computer Vision with example to represent an image in this section.
This section explains the central theorem and then later looks at how samples and data are distributed. We shall also look at how supervised learning classifies the data later in this section, after which we will understand future predictions for EV sales.
We shall understand how to assume characteristics of a population and later understand Null and Alternative hypotheses concepts in this section.
This section discusses errors rejecting and not rejecting null hypotheses at the right instances. We shall look into the causes of why the actions are not performed right and also understand how to bring them back in the flow.
We shall understand single/dual/multiple samples, one/two-tailed, and mean-variance, or proportion tests in this section. This section picks up multiple examples stating null and alternative hypotheses to understand the concept better.
