As an instructor myself I wanted to commend you on your ability to explain a difficult concept without talking over the listener's head. So many videos get so caught up in the math and details they often forget how important it is sometimes to simply explain what's going on in terms anyone can understand.
Thanks for the video. Lepto means narrow (or thin) in Greek. Platy means wide. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case it's useful to anyone.. thanks again for the video!
As a novice to Statistics your ability to educate by captivating the learner is a tremendous skill set not found in many instructional videos! THANK YOU, and well done!
These are very clear and simple descriptions for very mud-like processes! Thanks so much. I am going to share with my Ed.D. Ed Leadership cohort. You rock!
Thanks very much from Belize. Short and to the point, but very effective. Never seen so much info presented so clearly in such a short time. Thanks again and great work.
It is important to highlight that the Kurtosis they mention in the video is the so-called "excess kurtosis" which has the value of 0 in the case of a Normal Distribution. Kurtosis, on the other hand, is 3.
3:24 I'm pretty sure the reason why we have more positive skews than negative skews is because the majority of the numbers we work with are non-negative, meaning there's a lower bound, i.e. 0, but no upper bound. For example, if you're measuring the amount of time it takes for someone to take a test without time limitations, it's likely that there are going to be outliers, people who take a really long time.
. very nice .. i was absent during our class discussion regarding this topic . and it's our exam tomorrow .. and i think i can pass. thanks for this ..
Wish me good look for my Exam at 9.30AM and its already 3AM. Your content is really helping. Have not attended a single class for the subject. Wish me luck guys.
Many thanks. :) Thought it would be better if you show us how to calculated the skewness and kurtosis. Its my topic to discuss. i have a report tomorrow about this. It help me allot. Thanks again.
I loved the video, although it did feel a little rushed. Maybe slowing down just a little bit? The information was so amazing and well worded though! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the feedback. Slowing down is my biggest challenge. It's hard to find a balance between boring and hyper-speed. Im naturally a fast talker. I'm happy you liked the content though :)
That would be a good topic for another video. This one was aimed at undergraduate students who don't really need that much detail. I'll add that to my ideas list and let you know if I come across any other videos that are well done.
I'm an undergraduate student studying Forensics and I'm preparing for an exam in Measuring Techniques and Statistics (and yes, I think we're going into much more detail than would be necessary^^). I've understood the relevant difference now, but it would be great if you added it in another video :) thank you
thanks for such crisp information. i have one query.. if the values of mean=97.66, mode=98 and median is 97 then what will be interpretation about skewness? kindly reply
Nice video. I am just familiarising myself with the concepts so it was nice and conceptually clear, but also with a chance to learn some fancy terminology on the way :)

I’m a master student and I finally understand this part of statistics with your fantastic teaching method. I wish I had found you sooner.
you basically summed my two hour lecture into a five minutes video whilst also making it very simple to understand. thank you!

This is the best explanation I've found on RUclips. Thank you!

interesting view, cleared my mind thanks
Definitely one of the best simplified mini lessons for statistics!
I'm happy you liked it
Thanks
+Josh Uddin yes. I'm a nurse and teacher.
thank you ma'am it was very helpful for me :-)
Statistics is still beyond confusing but this video helps. No longer dazed and confused, just confused. Thanks for making it.
Thank you!! Just started my doctoral program and needed some further assistance!!
professionally simplified, as a step towards heading to the complex understanding. Great!
Thank you. I have been searching for a good video on distribution curves and this is the best one. It answered all my questions. Much appreciated
This one is quite helpful and understands concepts from a visual perspective. Kudos to @Nursekillam
. very nice .. i was absent during our class discussion regarding this topic . and it's our exam tomorrow .. and i think i can pass. thanks for this ..
I know this is too late but uh. Did you pass?
Wish me good look for my Exam at 9.30AM and its already 3AM.
Your content is really helping.
Have not attended a single class for the subject. Wish me luck guys.
Good luck! In my opinion attendance does not equal learning .... hopefully you were able to learn in other ways.
This video is the first on the subject to really help me understand. Thank you for the clear explanation :)
You are welcome :)
Just what I needed. good clear explanations. good audio, good visuals. Keep up the good work.
THANK YOU!! FINALLY SOMEONE EXPLAINED WHAT THE KURTIC'S LOOK LIKE
I love how u explained it so simply! thanks
+Nena Miodrag you are welcome. That was my goal :)
Very simplistic, thank you, anyone could follow specially for a beginner like me.
It's really helping our students coz it's a very simple and clear explanation, thank you so much.
this video is very helpful for the beginner. thank you so much ma'm.
Precise, to the point and complete.
Thank you so very very much! You helped me to identify with kurtosis because the reading was too much in my texts.
This is really great. So much information in such short video with such clarity.
Thank you for your time. It's a valuable information that it helps me with my class.
+Charles Spurgeon So good to hear
Thanks for this basic, intuitive explanation :)
You are welcome
Wow can I adopt you as the stats teacher character in my life? You explained that articulately! :D
:) thanks
Thank you. Your effort is highly appreciated
Crystal clear explanation...
awesomely clear explanations
this is still helpful today. statistics midterm in 4 hours.
Comprehensively explained
Your videos and explanations are very good. Thanks for putting this up.
3:06 skewness=(mean-mode*)/S.D or skewness=3*(mean-median)/S.D
Thank you so much.you explain it in very clear manner.
Awesome to hear! Thanks for watching and taking the time to let me know.
Really excellent explanation! Many thanks 🙏
Thanks.. Great video... You talk a little fast though, but you are clear and have a great voice.
Really simple and perfect expalanation.
Its Great! Helped me with the basic, but you should make detailed videos. I'd love it!
Really great video tutorial. It is useful for beginner and expert as well.
Thanks very much NurseKillam. I was struggling to understand the concept of kurtosis. Yours is the best video I've seen!!!! :)
Thx so much for this explanation. Very clear and helpful.
Awesome to hear. You are welcome :)
Precise and straight to the point! very heplful..thanks!!
Thank you. Your videos are helpful.
Thanks for simplifying this
Very helpful. It is short and clear
I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks soooo much! Great Clarity, in your speech and in your presentation! Excellent!
Thank you!
Great explanation and easy to understand thanks for the visual.
NurseKillam you had a nice video, a superb one......1000likes goes to you...we need more about statistics as you did it
Happy you liked it :)
Great explanations. Thank you
Good video, very helpful.
One correction, for central moment, Kurtosis of norm. dist. K=3
So mesokurtic k=3
Leptokurtic has K>3
Playkurtic had K
I'll go back and check my sources. Thanks.
So good at Statistics and you studied nursing. Wow.
holy moly, helps a lot! taking statistics online!!
+Kristania good to hear
Many thanks. :) Thought it would be better if you show us how to calculated the skewness and kurtosis. Its my topic to discuss.
i have a report tomorrow about this. It help me allot. Thanks again.
+Player Gabriel our students don't need to calculate it, which is why I didn't include it. Sorry!
Very useful presentation! Thank you!
Very helpful!
will be looking for other videos from you on Statistics~
+Sharon T Thank you. I hope to make more soon. Is there anything you need in particular?
I loved the video, although it did feel a little rushed. Maybe slowing down just a little bit? The information was so amazing and well worded though! Thanks so much!

Nursekillam I legit love you!! your video is awesome!!
Thanks for the simplified Explanation 🙏
Pls, how do we solve different problems concerning Skewness and Kurtosis?
Thank you NurseKillam for the wonderful video.
You are welcome
Nice and simply put. Would anyone explain (In simple terms) what effect taking the natural logarithm of a scale that has a high kurtosis value.
Thanks from Brazil! Obrigada! :)
You Are welcome
Very good video. Thanks for posting it.
Thanks,ur explanation is simply superb
I'm happy you liked it :)
Simply excellent. Very grateful for clear, concise and well presented video. Thank you for the great channel. 27/8/2018 😊
Fabulous explanation ... thank you!
+Pat Wheeldn thank you for the compliment :)
The video was very good, but I would have liked to get an explanation of excess kurtosis and its difference towards kurtosis as well.
That would be a good topic for another video. This one was aimed at undergraduate students who don't really need that much detail. I'll add that to my ideas list and let you know if I come across any other videos that are well done.
I'm an undergraduate student studying Forensics and I'm preparing for an exam in Measuring Techniques and Statistics (and yes, I think we're going into much more detail than would be necessary^^). I've understood the relevant difference now, but it would be great if you added it in another video :) thank you
Thanks for this. I kept coming across these terms and just could not understand the 'fat tail' analogy!
Great information! Perfectly articulated, but personally I would like it if you could slow it down a tiny bit. :)
very well explained....
Thakyou.
Can you discuss, different methods of sample size estimation. In your next video
It was really helpful, easy to learn , Thanks a lot
Explained well. Thank you.
Awesome presentation. So happy I watched the video. Thanks so much :)
Very informative with all those figures, thank you so much!
It helped me a lot. Thankyou .
Hi, great video! So when the distribution is said to have fat tails, that means it is Leptokurtic?
you made my life easier thank you!
Well explained and thank you so much.
very nice..solved my concerns. Thanks
I'm happy it helped.
Helping me in 2020!
Hi, your video is good..Can I use this one for my multi-media studies?
very nicely done
Nice Video ! Keep up the good work !
thanks for such crisp information. i have one query.. if the values of mean=97.66, mode=98 and median is 97 then what will be interpretation about skewness? kindly reply
You could calculate it but basically I'd say it is almost perfect (no skew). Nothing is perfect in real life.
Excellent !! Very helpful !!
I'm happy it helped :)
What's the significance of leptokurtosis? Is it not good that most of the test scores are near the mean?
Excellent, just a little more guidance how do we use all this in finance ? specially portfolio. Regards
+Khurram Ali Mubasher sorry. I'm not a finance expert... I'd imagine some of it is applicable but I'm not sure how.
no worries thank you for knowledge :) tc
thank you so much teacher
So good👍well done!
what about a non symmetrical bimodal graph, how would you decide if it is positive or negatively skewed?
جزاك الله خيرا، Thank you
Very helpful. Thank you very much
You are welcome
Great video, Thanks
Nice video. I am just familiarising myself with the concepts so it was nice and conceptually clear, but also with a chance to learn some fancy terminology on the way :)
