    At my graduation I'd like to thank RUclips for teaching me all that I need to know to pass material in school. Thanks bud.

      I didn't have RUclips 20 years ago, it was much harderback then. I m relearning this from scratch.

      I didn’t have these RUclips tutorials in high school and I really wish I had these tutorials. Traditional study materials don’t have the changing visuals that videos do. Glad you were able to make use of these videos!

Probably fought off a few thesis monsters and wrestled a dissertation dragon along the way, but our caped crusader has triumphed! Let's all raise our keyboards in salute to this heroic academic journey!

    It also helps that the video is just great anyway ;)

    1. clear English accent easy to follow. 2. very focused to the materials. 3. learner centered . explained in a way that makes it easier for listener to comprehend. For example his geometric distribution approach is much easier than following the formula instead of concept. 4. very organized. Typed materials are easier to follow, to copy without missing anything. In addition more materials can be covered in a specific time period. GOOD LUCK TO HIS STUDENTS.

    these video's are life savers when your stats professor has no idea how to actually teach properly. Seriously my stats professor just puts random stuff up and gives examples, but doesn't explain how to actually do them

      Its been like this for years. They write the equations but never elucidate or describe how significant each term in that equation really is. I'm guessing professors never give a single fuck about what the students learn. Now thats not all that bad but hell, classes are a waste of time. Even more so, when the professor insists you attend them regularly. The time that I've lost attending useless classes will never be made up

    Maybe as a little motivation for you to continue this great work, I had to do a statistics test and if i didn‘t get a sufficient grade I would have been kicked out of my programme because I didn‘t have enough credits. I just made it. If I didn‘t see this video I would not have understood poisson in such short time and it was a significant chunk of the test. Thank you very much.

    • @jbstatistics
      @jbstatistics  11 лет назад +17

      You are very welcome. There are many, many good teachers at universities. Different students have different learning styles and abilities, and it's difficult to determine the best level at which to pitch the material. I'm sure some of my own students don't like the way I approach certain things. It also depends on the course. In a more mathematical course, I would approach this topic very differently.
      That said, I do try to give illustrative examples wherever I can. Tossing up a formula without context and examples is not usually a great approach.
      I'm glad you found this video helpful, and thanks for the compliment! Cheers.

    At 6:25, the more precise way of phrasing the question would be "What is the probability there are no more than 3 radioactive decays for 2-second periods?", correct? It's the reason why lambda=4.6.

    • @jbstatistics

      The entire example is referring to a two second period. I could have stated that we were discussing a two second period again, yes, but that was the period under discussion in the entire example.
