5:12 I would argue that it is a lot more complex than to say that if the mean and median have values which are "close", then the distribution is probably a bell curve. However, I would say that a requirement for a bell curve is a symmetrical distribution - in which the mean and the median are almost equal to each other. Without this assumption, the distribution CANNOT be a bell curve!
Question: What does it mean for the mean and median to have values to be "very close" to each other? Can we get more specific than that? You said that you "feel like" they are close to each other 😞
3:03 It might be "ok" to use the mean, but why not just use the median in all cases - since in this case, the mean and median aren't that different - yet, in other cases the median is the better option anyway. Therefore, when in doubt, use the median over the mean! Am I wrong here? (I am just asking - is my logic off?)

11 years later this helped me understand a problem I had, thank you!
These are going to be a godsend for my statistics thank you for uploading.
I absolutely love these visuals! Thanks for really helping me learn this! I loooove the stars and smiley face covers LOL
3:26 Actually, the mode is the value with the maximum y-value. The median is the center of the distribution - which divides everything in half.

volume way too low
I switched from this to spotify with my headphones in and almost blew my eardrums out.

It would be better for us to understand if you could speak in the same room as the microphone was

it’s not even that quiet, just turn the volume up a lot
this is my weekend chill show
2:04 But what does "significantly different" mean??
Thank you so much!
Good
Danke :)
