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.

[@chrisg2834]

Thanks! My teacher last year didn't have time to go through this concept so this year I was freaking out when I saw it on my test

[@kirant9305]

The whiskers are plotted incorrectly. The left whisker should be at Q1-1.5*IQR and the right whisker should be at Q3+1.5*IQR. But, in the video, it says that the left whisker is at the minimum value and the right at the maximum value. If this is the case, then there is no way to identify outliers in the data.

[@_starful7602]

Thank you, your videos are greatly appreciated. ^^

[@32antshotit]

This definitely helped me. I haven’t made one of these in a very long time and I have regents next month. So thank you

[@samarasatya7474]

Thx Sal, my man! This helped me alot to understand Box and Whisker Plots for my finals tomm

[@alltimegaming301]

Bruh his voice is way too satisfying and makes me wanna learn this lmaoo

[@audreygutierrez8285]

LMAO L O L SISTERS

im so thankful for KA, its helped me since i started school, and im so appreciative for the videos it gives to help me have a good education.

[@arjunsaini9813]

This video is good at explaining, how to make box and whisker diagram, God bless the individual who made it, for people like me to understand it!

[@user-eb1mj1zv6i]

It is possible to solve the question, what is the median, and what is the number that represents the lower quartile and the upper quartile in the question:34,35,36,38,40,42,42,43,45,50,55,65

[@alltimegaming301]

Good one mate love from India:)

[@audreygutierrez8285]

No problemo sis

[@jlsmzimme]

This helped with my homework alot. Thanks boieeeeeee.

[@adriansese8877]

so what if there's no median in the data in 3:05 do we have to make it up and cancel stuff?

[@grimordwow]

You take the average of the two middle values, like he does later while calculating the edges of the box.

[@aatifsalam3782]

Thanks for helping, I understood it much better!

[@brunobucciarati1109]

Now I understand, Thanks Khan Academy!

[@lukemayberry1593]

thanks helped a lot

[@arianaparker8762]

Thank you so much! I've been trying to learn this sence 7th grade(I'm in 9th now) and never truly understood it but now I do. Thank you!!

[@chiheerioz]

I didn't know a box plot was also called a whisker plot! Neat!

[@jisootivity]

I am in 6 grade and still understood everything ☺

i am in kindergarten and i know how to spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious without googling the word

[@majorasmrstressrelieving8984]

[@ottilliachatambudza9956]

well explained Sir

[@mcguirefamily4529]

This video was so helpful thank you

[@arthurntembula]

you are a great man. thank you.

[@piyushjoshi2527]

thanks very helpful

[@imnotyourrobot9796]

Another way to easily find the median: Take the number of all the data points. For example, there were 17 data points in the example Sal gave. So n= 17. Then use this formula: n+1/2 17+1/2 18/2= 9 Count to the 9th place in the list of numbers in order from smallest to largest. That is your median.

[@CelestialTown_]

struggling in maths bc I didn't take stats for my gcses and this is part of it, this was so helpful! thank you so much!

Thanks

Thanks for the video

[@hexahorn]

thanks

[@nina-mv1bf]

This helped soooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!! thxxxx

[@mohdig9]

Why wasnt the Interquartile Range used to determine if there are any outliers? I am taking Intro to Stats and Probability and we need to use Q1-1.5(IQR) and Q3+1.5(IQR) to decide if there are outliers on the plot.

[@mikegarri6190]

Thank you!

[@nbdexotic7151]

Dude Thank you so much you explained the video so good and helped with my hw

Really helpful!!!!

[@judsonlevi3386]

that moment when your math teacher forgets how to teach so you have to rely on a three-year-old video two weeks before finals

[@uncle_ervin]

What a man

[@killallfurriesstaysigma]

I am home schooled and went here myself to learn more because I am a nerd.

[@kaycierosas4117]

God bless you

[@aidenmeagher7012]

A good video

[@Crackedatsnipers]

I'm still wondering how I'm learning more on KZbin than at school 🏫

[@staceybrinton8093]

What happens if you have two middle numbers for a median?

[@asikaalone]

you'd be the best teacher mine is SO boring
