    Wow, statistics is currently frustrating, but I'm so glad I took the initiative in looking for YT vids and finding this video. When you broke it down into words, I was like "Ohhh!!! that's why the formula is what it is, that's what the z value represents on the graph, and that's why the shading takes place in this direction!". Sometimes the words are all one needs, and it wasn't fair bc the professor used temperature as his only examples bc at first i was confused how this plays out using nonzero numbers "ie. having 200 counting as the mean and working from that, but your example was almost exactly like my hw problem and the jungle that was my mind all of a sudden untangled itself and it clicked. All this to say.....Thank you haha. You have just earned a subscriber

    This was pretty helpful, like really!
    Though this is not part of this lesson I do have a something to ask
    It's still statistics
    Let's say you need to find
    P (z > 1.92)
    P (z -1.92)
    P (z < -1.92)
    Found this in my sister's textbook and tried to answer it but I got stumped hard.
    Like, they have the same answers, or I'm missing something (I pick the latter part)
    Again, really enjoyed this video!

  • @sakatagintoki4590

    What if the z score is, for example, 12.98? How do i find the probability? Should i try something different to find a lower z score?

    I'm struggling with a problem. Find the corresponding​ z-scores. Which baby weighs relatively ​more? Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice.If I'm comparing Z zones. 3375-3000/900 =.416 and 3775-3400/560=.669 I have one come out to .416 and the other .669, which number is larger?

    @cranberrykiddo 3 года назад +1

    so do you always put the result of the z score under the given observation? for example, the observation is 10 and under it is the z score -1. is that where u identify put the z score value? i would have thought that the z score will be identified before the z score of 0 being a z score of -1. does this makes sense? thank u again!

      That is true......when hand drawing the curve, I'm never drawing to scale, it's getting infiintely close to the x-axis, and especially with a thick sharpie pen, you can't be that precise.
