    Probability and statistics on Khan Academy: We dare you to go through a day in which you never consider or use probability. Did you check the weather forecast? Busted! Did you decide to go through the drive through lane vs walk in? Busted again! We are constantly creating hypotheses, making predictions, testing, and analyzing. Our lives are full of probabilities! Statistics is related to probability because much of the data we use when determining probable outcomes comes from our understanding of statistics. In these tutorials, we will cover a range of topics, some which include: independent events, dependent probability, combinatorics, hypothesis testing, descriptive statistics, random variables, probability distributions, regression, and inferential statistics. So buckle up and hop on for a wild ride. We bet you're going to be challenged AND love it!
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    Great video as usual. Most valuable lesson I learned from it was to avoid repetition when counting overlapping sets. Since color and shape of object in this case are not disjoint sets, it is easy to make a mistake over counting. So, hasting into conclusion might be the most common mistake of calculating probabilities and counting.

    Great Video! This definitely taught me some new ideas. One thing though: When you asked, "what is the probability of the object being a Cube or Yellow," the correct probability would actually be 15/29 because a yellow cube would not satisfy the problem. This is because you are saying the object needs to be yellow OR a cube, not yellow and/or a cube. Other than that, good explanation!

  • @rhoadess
    @rhoadess 13 лет назад

    In probability, the sets are multisets (bags) rather than the idea of a general set in mathematics, where every element of a general set must be unique, and if any elements within a general set repeat, those repeats are removed. On the other hand, a multiset may have repeats. Examples: Multiset A = [3,3,3,3,1,1,2,2,2,], General Set A = {1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,3} = {2,1,3}. This was something that confused me at one time, and thought I would mention it.

  • @artokilponen6989
    @artokilponen6989 6 лет назад +1

    One thing I've learnt about probabilities is that if you take a simple case and apply common sense to that, you probably find out some harder concepts easier to grasp. Like here, yellow or cube obviously means "anything but green spheres", so the answer has to be "everything - 9 of all options", so 20 of 29. This obviously doesn't mean you shouldn't learn that rule, but if you can't apply your logic to even the easiest problems, your logic is probably wrong and you need to re-work that.
    So nothing away from this video, I just wanted to give a different view.

      (11 years later, yes)
      Well, you would find how many yellow things there are and how many cubes there are.
      Then, you add them together, and put them as a fraction over 29, the total amount of shapes in the bag.
      I think that’s your question…
      You probably already figured this out though, 11 YEARS LATER.

    U do it the same way my teacher does. The extra subtraction is very confusing for me. To find the probability of yellow or a cube I just added the yellow cubes, green cubes, and yellow spheres. And didn’t add in the green spheres and got 20. No subtraction needed. Whoever made that rule was trying to ruin the lives of anyone taking a class w probability I think 😅
