Sir, I am not even in your class, yet the day before the final midterm I'm viewing your videos. That itself should say enough, but just to reiterate: THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF ALL STAT*2040 STUDENTS IN ALL SECTIONS IN EVERY SEMESTER. You are the second prof @ guelph I have encountered that uses RUclips as a teaching tool, and I must say, it is probably one of the best ideas I have seen. Thanks again, a panicking gryphon.
You're welcome, and thanks for the feedback! I'm just glad to be of help. I'm still working on adding new videos, and I'll have a new set of hypothesis testing videos up in the next couple of weeks.
I really really hope you answer me sir but i still can't understand when do we need to use this low. I mean which type of phenomenons do require this low And please i don't like the answer ( the situations of normal distribution which require this low) because i can't distinguish between the situations normally distributed and the situation that follows other low like Khi2 and other I hope you answer me sir
Thank you. I have a test in this tomorrow and I didn't understand all the concepts. You're a lifesaver, I already recommended your channel to my classmates
9 years later your Chanel still saving my Ass. You should keep working on this channel because during pandemic we are suffering a lot with Online Classes.
Thanks Mate you are a Legend. I have learned so much from my Canadian mates, now I am so eager to visit Canada to learn more. You guys are Awesome. Thanks Again.
I use your video to learn English. Thinks! 0:00 Let's look at an introduction to the normal distribution also known as the Gaussian distribution. The normal distribution is an extremely important continuous probability distribution. It arises very very frequently in theory and practice. 0:18 Here I've plotted out what is approximately the distribution of the height of adult Canadian males and this what we see here is a normal distribution. This is our variable down here and f of X is what we call the probability density function which gives the height of the curve at point X. 0:40 Here's the equation for the probability density function of the normal distribution. We're not going to be working with this directly very often but there's a few points we should note. 0:49 First of all if the random variable X has a normal distribution then it can take on any finite value. 0:57 There are two parameters to this distribution. Mu is the mean of the distribution and the mean can take on any finite value as well. Sigma is the standard deviation and Sigma squared of course is the variance. Sigma has to be some positive value and of course Sigma squared would have to be some positive value as well. 1:24 Here's a normal distribution plotted out. Mu the mean is also right smack dab in the middle of the distribution. The distribution is symmetric about mu. So mu represents the mean of the probability distribution and it's also the median of the probability distribution. Now let's try and get some perspective for what Sigma represents. 1:49 Here I've plotted in one standard deviation below the mean to one standard deviation above the mean and as we'll see a little bit later on this area between one standard deviation below to one standard deviation above is approximately zero point six eight 68% of the area lies within one standard deviation of the mean. 2:13 Here I've plotted in mu minus 2 standard deviations 2 mu plus 2 standard deviations and approximately 95% of the area lies within two standard deviations of the mean and approximately 99.7% of the area lies within three standard deviations of the mean. 2:41 Here's another plot to give us a little perspective on what Sigma represents. Over here this red line represents a normal distribution with a standard deviation of Sigma 2 and this white curve represents a normal distribution with the standard deviation of Sigma 1 but Sigma 2 is double Sigma 1 so the standard deviation on the red curve is double the standard deviation of the white curve and we can see that when the standard deviation is greater there is more area in the tails and a lower peak. 3:16 There are an infinite number of different normal distributions corresponding to all the different possible values for MU and Sigma. If X is a random variable that has a normal distribution with mean mu and variance Sigma squared we write this as the random variable X is distributed normally with a mean of mu and a variance of Sigma squared. X is distributed normally a big N first term is the mean second term is the variance. Be a bit careful here as different sources can have a different term in here sometimes people have the second term representing the standard deviation I have the second term representing the variance. So just be a bit careful with that. 4:07 By definition the standard normal distribution is a normal distribution with the mean of 0 and a variance of 1. We often represent random variables that have the standard normal distribution with the letter Z and yes I am Canadian and we might say if Zedd has a standard normal distribution we might write this as Zedd is distributed normally with a mean of 0 and a variance of 1 that being mu that being Sigma squared and if the variance of is 1 of course Sigma is 1 as well. 4:46 As we will soon see we very often need to find areas under the standard normal curve. Probabilities are simply areas under the curve and very often the question of interest involves finding a probability. 5:01 Finding probabilities and percentiles for the normal distribution requires integrating the probability density function. There isn't a closed form solution and it must be integrated numerically. Fortunately for us we're going to use software or a standard normal table to actually find these values in practice.
I have a stats midterm test tmr, still dont know whether i can make it through but i grasp a lot from your channel and am more confident about the test. Thank you so much
Thank you very much for your videos! I use them for business mathematics and statistics! I sent you around 30 student to this channel already :) (I also have to add that you speak easily understandable for not native speaker which is a big plus for my classmates in college!
So my guess was right with all those Canadian males questions.. you are one :D Great channel.. I wish to meet you. Words fail me. I just can't express how you turned a subject I hated to the one I enjoy the most! Cheers from India
wow, u are doing some great karma in life. Very clear explanations. These videos are incredibly helpful. Thanks a lot sir. wish you mental peace and physical well being with metta loving kindness Ravindra
I don`t usually comment on videos, but after this `yes, I`m a Canadian` haha. We`re missing some `eh` eh? By the way, I love these videos very well explained. Please keep it going :)

Hi a small doubt We normally plot Roys safety first ratio on Normal distribution for identifying shortfall risk Can we also plot IRR on Normal Distribution Curve ,and say IRR=Max return a customer can earn beyond wich NPV will become negative(As per number scale) So can I conclucdue Because at this point NPV will be zero
No, definitely not. Many variables have a distribution that is approximately normal, but definitely not all. For example, the distribution net worth of US households would be strongly skewed to the right.
Thanks man, after 11 years your videos are still usefull
This graph is the cause of all my pain and sadness.

LOLed at "Yes I am canadian". Ermmm we figured it already when you said "Out" in a few videos. Hahaha
Same here. It's not often one blurts out laughing when watching mathematical videos :-)

Thanks for helping me out on my finals. I'm a fan! :D You make statistics bearable! I finally understand after all these years.
Yes I am Canadian. Does the JB stand for Justin Beiber then? :D

If it makes you feel any better, we Indians also say Z as 'Zed'.(I found it weird at the beginning when I heard Americans say Z as 'Zee')

Hi a small doubt
We normally plot Roys safety first ratio on Normal distribution for identifying shortfall risk
Can we also plot IRR on Normal Distribution Curve ,and say IRR=Max return a customer can earn beyond wich NPV will become negative(As per number scale)
So can I conclucdue
Because at this point NPV will be zero
that was awesome Canadian! ;)

Is every data set following normal distribution ?
No, definitely not. Many variables have a distribution that is approximately normal, but definitely not all. For example, the distribution net worth of US households would be strongly skewed to the right.
Amazing!!!!
I was today year's old when I found out the letter "Z" (pronounced "Zee" in the US) is pronounced different every else. Mind blown.
very nice.
