Math for AI (Statistics and Probability)

Code 417, Class 9. AI uses maths to understand data. Here we learn simple statistics and probability.

What this unit is about

AI uses maths to make sense of data. Two useful areas are statistics (describing data) and probability (measuring chance).

1. Statistics

Simple statistics describe data: the mean (average), the median (middle value), the mode (most common) and the range (lowest to highest).

For 2, 4, 6: mean = (2 + 4 + 6) / 3 = 4

2. Probability

Probability is the chance of something happening, from 0 (never) to 1 (certain). For a fair coin, the probability of heads is 1/2. AI uses probability to make predictions.

3. Why maths matters in AI

AI models use statistics to describe data and probability to decide how sure they are. Understanding these helps you read what an AI model is doing.

Practise with the interactive

Practice set A, multiple choice

1. The average of numbers is the …

mean.

2. The middle value is the …

median.

3. The most common value is the …

mode.

4. The chance of something happening is …

probability.

Practice set B, short answer

1. Define mean, median and mode.

Mean is the average; median is the middle value; mode is the most common.

2. What is probability?

The chance of something happening, from 0 to 1.

3. What is the probability of heads on a fair coin?

One half (1/2).

Quick summary

AI uses maths to understand data. Statistics describe data: mean (average), median (middle), mode (most common) and range (spread). Probability is the chance of something happening, from 0 (never) to 1 (certain); for a fair coin, heads is 1/2. AI uses statistics to describe data and probability to make predictions.
