What is SciPy?

SciPy is a scientific computing library built on NumPy. It provides modules for statistics (scipy.stats), optimization (scipy.optimize), linear algebra, signal processing, and numerical integration. scipy.stats is used for hypothesis tests (t-tests, chi-square, ANOVA), probability distributions, and descriptive statistics beyond what NumPy provides.
