    I highly recommend this video. Thank you so much for this simple 4-minute video explaining confidence intervals. Your example was simple and clear, and you explanation was logical, coherent and straightforward. I tried several other sites to learn about this, including Khan Academy, and they were very confusing, and all over the place. Great job!

      Thanks. I noticed that viewers were not interested in summaries - get in, tell it how it is and stop! In my more recent videos I do ask for likes and subs, as this is my source of income. Confidence intervals are really difficult to understand and I think people often get a wrong idea of what they are. But once you get it - it isn't that difficult.

      Glad it helped! So often people learn how to calculate confidence intervals, but no one really explains what they are.
