    Sometimes I just get frustrated on our education system for just running behind marks and not making the students understand any of the stuff .Hope one day my country will also have great teachers like you who makes the student know clearly what they are learning. Thanks a lot sir,huge love and respect from India.

    I can't express how much I love the way you teach. it's so interesting and easy to understand. thank you so much for your initiative. I am a student of mass communication, and for my PhD program I need to learn statistics, and it seemed so pathetic to me. your lessons made me feel like statistics is as interesting as journalism itself. thanks you is a small world. but I mean it.

    I'm a psychology student and you are my hero! cause our teacher doesn't explain to us what the words like variance and SD we use are he says the spss will do all calculations. Well, I want to understand the logic behind at least.

  • @wisdomtoknowthedifference
    @wisdomtoknowthedifference 4 года назад

    I wish most professors are THIS elaborate! I needed classes where they explain why we use the formula, what it gets for us, and basically the significance of it all. Few of the professors I had in Stats were going straight for the formula, and they didn't really explain the whats, whys and hows. I wish he was my Stat teacher, maybe I have fallen in love with Stats from then on!

      Agreed, at 50 I jumped back into the University environment, and I wish all instructors had this guys skills at breaking down a problem and explaining it thoroughly. I often feel as if I am teaching myself, and have done so for the last 2 years. However, in the process I have learned even more.

    Sir, this was a very clear and pure way to understand variance. I am very grateful to realize this. I am studying econometrics and i could never really fundamentally wrap my head around what the variance truly meant. It's easy to calculate, but for me to intuitively understand what the variance is at its core and the importance of this for statistics... is because of you. thank you

    Amazing clarity. I learned this math in the early 1980s, studying for my Land Surveyor's license. I was sitting here trying to remember the math, and it occurred to me to look on RUclips. Now I remember the unknown variables left for me in the field, by incompetent forbears, data points that were suspect just by virtue of who established them. I ended up co writing the license exam for a couple of years. I still have Hewlett-Packard RPN nightmares. So many people know how, but they don't know why. Thanks for being a great teacher. Maybe now I can penetrate my "great cloud of unknowing".

  • @cpm4324
    @cpm4324 9 лет назад

    This is an excellent video!!! None of the texts I have read have explained variance so well. One book did, in simple terms, explain that the reason that the "n - 1" is used as a denominator in the sample equation is that "the sample mean always underestimates the true variance in the population." There is actually a mathematically and statistically advanced reason for subtracting a simple one from the denominator, But "in the simplest terms remember that doing so helps raise the value of the outcome of the equation closer to the true variance of the population." (e.g. 20/5 = 4 however, 2/(5-1) =5)

I hated math in high school because I preferred to understand and the teaching style was flash cards for math! Zoinks. Any way, i appreciate you. 1000 thanks!
