    I just finished a summer statistics course. I thought it was going to be really difficult, but it was actually fun. I completely fell in love with statistics this summer. Don't let everyone get into your head about how much it sucks; it isn't true!

    A basic understanding of statistics is soooooo important. Most decisions in politics are made based on statistics. Or rather: should be made based on statistics. Please more of this! What a great course!

    • @opinionofmine3238
      @opinionofmine3238 6 лет назад +12

      But should it really? Cause in theory, basing it in statistics is a great idea, but in pratice the actual studies are riddled with so many holes on a fundamental level that basing it on statistics often becomes a glorified way to throw dice at the table make a decision based on the roll

    • @jeremys9522
      @jeremys9522 6 лет назад +3

      communists had for utopia to have a society basing his decision on pure logic. The goulags where a result as well as no hill or disabled in the cities (they were kept away from the other in dedicated houses in the middle of nowhere)
      The majority of the big decisions cannot be based on statistic (go look up game theory, you can start by the prisoner's dilemma), most other should not.

    • @ThinkLikeaPhysicist
      @ThinkLikeaPhysicist 4 года назад +2

      Couldn't agree more! I'm trying to give lessons on how probability and statistics are used to draw conclusions from data and to make decisions (from a physicist's perspective). We have lectures on Bayes' Theorem, p-values, gaussian errors, lots of stuff.

  • @dennyzavada407
    @dennyzavada407 6 лет назад +3279

    A physicist, a chemist, and a statistician go hunting. They come upon a deer and the physicist takes a shot that misses 5 feet to the left. The chemist then takes a shot that misses 5 feet to the right. The statistician declares, "We got him!!"

    • @jeremys9522
      @jeremys9522 6 лет назад +249

      The statistician get some food out of his bag because he knew the stats before coming and understand that a medium value is worthless on it's own, he compares it to the median and the quartile at the very least.

    I have an MBA and did my minor in International Marketing and let me tell you: Marketers do love statistics. SO MUCH statistics and coin tossing.
    It's actually very interesting and I apply it every day still. It changes your way of thinking. I'm constantly thinking in questions, hypothesis, and possibilities. Also the correlation and causation between them.
    It's a little bit exausting sometimes though. Am I the only one??

  • @charlesje1966
    @charlesje1966 6 лет назад +1

    This video does a better job than most by emphasizing that the framework you use to answer a given question in statistics depends on the question. If you work in social sciences, for instance, your goal typically is to clarify a question so that it becomes answerable given the assets available and to recommend a course of action. The challenges are in the realm of logistics, human resources, and general critical thinking. Most of the time the relevant statistical methods needed are pretty basic, well understood, and automated. Unfortunately, intro to statistics classes often present the student with a litany of statistical methods "as if" that magically results in effective implementation.

    I've read Nassim Taleb's "Dark Swan" recently and found it interesting - it's a book about uncertainty and the psychology of knowlege and decision making. It's central selling point: Statisticians (and especially economists) use Gaussian statistics (the bell curve, standard deviation) too much as most social questions are scalable: Black Swans, huge deviations form the norm that we can't predict have big impacts (think 9/11, 2008 financial crisis. The 1980 banking crisis destroyed the whole of the banks' profits IN HISTORY in a single incident).
    Thought experiment: a.) The average person is 6'5" tall. What's the most likely distribution of hight? Answer: Around 6'5", with extremes more and more unlikely, as hight isn't scalable.
    b.) Two people in the room have a total net income of 1 Mio USD. What's the most likely distribution of wealth? Answer: 50k USD and 950k USD. Wealth doesn't distribute around a mean, the net worth of the 2000 billionaires is 7,5 Trillion. 8 of them are richer than the world's poorest half. Wealth is scalable.
    The proposed problem with most social sciences: their models often confuse b.) with a.).

    I took a statistic course last semester and even though much of what was said sound familiar I can’t really recall any of the theory that backs it up, you know like … if a person test N cups of tea and rightly guess x how sure we can be she indeed can tell the difference? Or the smart-vibe example.
    Looking forward to see this and more problems solve in episodes to come.

    Thank gods she talks slower than other CC presenters, the subject can be tricky, and too fast paced exposure makes it harder to understand to some people, which is my experience with CC Physics

    Please do a week on inferential statistics and measuring statistical significance. I'm afraid to admit this publicly, but I am a psychology teacher, and I suffer from major math anxiety, so when we get into psychological stats, I can use all the help I can get!! Was hoping that Hank would a stats lesson as part of "Crash Course Psychology," so this is the next chance to help me (and more importantly my students), get a better grip!

    Because it's kinda on topic - here are my favourite statistics (both are true, even if most people need a moment to understand that fact):
    1) The vatican has two popes per square kilometer (or four, if you're counting living ex-popes).
    2) Most people have more legs than the average person.

    • @MarioFanGamer659
      @MarioFanGamer659 6 лет назад +3

      1. The Vatican is only half a square kilometre large (actually around 0.44 km², thus making it around 2,2727... popes/km², though for this fact, it's close enough).
      2. If people haven't got two legs, they're more likely to have less legs than more (not to mention it's easier to lose than getting one) which shifts the averidge from 2 a bit towards to 1.
