Probability and statistics on Khan Academy: We dare you to go through a day in which you never consider or use probability. Did you check the weather forecast? Busted! Did you decide to go through the drive through lane vs walk in? Busted again! We are constantly creating hypotheses, making predictions, testing, and analyzing. Our lives are full of probabilities! Statistics is related to probability because much of the data we use when determining probable outcomes comes from our understanding of statistics. In these tutorials, we will cover a range of topics, some which include: independent events, dependent probability, combinatorics, hypothesis testing, descriptive statistics, random variables, probability distributions, regression, and inferential statistics. So buckle up and hop on for a wild ride. We bet you’re going to be challenged AND love it!
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We’ve also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

Thanks for posting this Khan! However, the video is so hard to follow as there are way too many unnecessary filler info. You can probably explain everything in less than 10 min. I was thinking the entire time " waiting, waiting, waiting, still waiting…! please just explain how the function came about and how to take an integral of the function, and how did the shortcut formula involving the z-table come about."
I really dont understand why a med student needs to know this
We are making use of Cumulative Distribution Function so that we don't have to evaluate the integral of p(x), but how are we finding CDF? Isn't that the same integral with limits changed?
I find it very effective that you repeat the same ideas over and over again! It reinforces them.
great explanation, is always interesting try to see where the math formulas come from
dude kinda sounds like Paul Scheer….also kinda love his voice #asmr
i dropped out of engineering and joined business school just so i dont ever have to see that GOD DAMN INTEGRATION SIGN… but… we meet again. my old foe!
I have been here a 100 times but still find myself alienated.
I went all the way to find what gaussian function is, and finally come back to find it is actually e^-(sqrt x) and not e^-square x, that I should look for.
Also, Does P(x) here means (mean + sigma.x)……
there is a small fault when you wrote down the fonction to integrate where the mean is -5 and the standard deviation is 10 you wrote ((x+5)/100)^2 the right expression would be ((x+5)/10)^2 or (x+5)^2/100) otherwise you have (x+5)^2/(the standard deviation)^4
He could have explained this in ten minutes but he extended to 26 min, wasting a lot of time on explain some useless personal thought instead of steady proof
Hello! I was wondering what the y axes would be labelled on the normal distribution graphs. I understand the x axes would be the number of standard deviations, but i dont know what the y axis would be
Loved it! thank you….. different topics really helped to connect the dots!
lesser the time more the knowledge ,its very easy to understand ,,
The video was very good but please try to talk in a more coherent manner. It makes it hard to follow when you switch between concepts every 10 seconds.
You are the saver Khan! Saving my ass every time! Thanks dude
I find these videos really helpful. Got a statistics exam tomorrow, been revising off these for the past few weeks. This video is not very good though. Really confusing.
