Before learning about different measures of center (such as mean, median,..) as well as measures of spread/variability (such as standard deviation, IQR,...) we want to learn about describing the shape, as well as the center/spread of a distribution using descriptive words.
Describing a distribution using numbers is good in that it is an objective measure, but these can also miss important features. Describing a distribution using qualitative words is good in that it can capture nuances, although it is not objecting. Using the two together can help us capture the best of both worlds. This introductory statistics video introduces terminology and descriptive words for describing the shape of a distribution.

This introductory statistics video introduces terminology and descriptive words for describing the shape, measure of center and measures of variability of a distribution of data using multiple examples. Before learning about different measures of center (e.g. mean, median) as well as measures of spread/variability (such as standard deviation, IQR, etc.) we want to learn about describing the shape, the center and spread of a distribution using descriptive words. Describing a distribution using numbers is good in that it is an objective measure, but these can also miss important features. Describing a distribution using qualitative words is good in that it can capture nuances, although it is not objecting. Using the two together can help us capture the best of both worlds.

The fact that no one is talking about your ability to write backwards is pretty "skewed" up in my opinion. Bravo sir.

Keep making videos on statistics.. dedicate this channel to statistics.. we are loving it.. and please make a play list topic wise so we can start from basic and go to advance. it is very difficult to randomly watch videos it gives no information only confuse us and we stop watching more videos.

Hello there! I am not sure if you have browsed our youtube channel but we have organized the videos into various playlists; you can also see some of the playlists in the about section of each of the videos (you have to scroll to the end); here are some of them that you might find useful. ► Statistics Course for Data Science bit.ly/2SQOxDH ►R Course for Beginners: bit.ly/1A1Pixc ►Getting Started with R using R Studio (Series 1): bit.ly/2PkTneg ►Graphs and Descriptive Statistics in R using R Studio (Series 2): bit.ly/2PkTneg ►Probability distributions in R using R Studio (Series 3): bit.ly/2AT3wpI ►Bivariate analysis in R using R Studio (Series 4): bit.ly/2SXvcRi ►Linear Regression in R using R Studio (Series 5): bit.ly/1iytAtm ►ANOVA Statistics and ANOVA with R using RStudio : bit.ly/2zBwjgL ►Hypothesis Testing Videos: bit.ly/2Ff3J9e ►Linear Regression Statistics and Linear Regression with R : bit.ly/2z8fXg1

@@marinstatlectures Thank you so much for the efforts. Statistics is future keep making videos on statistics.. A suggestion for you if you do not mind look at Brandonfortz video how easily he explain concepts and people from all walk of life understand it.

Bravo! Another great one!!!

[@marinstatlectures]

Thanks Leo :)

[@vishnu8899]

Quick question professor...when you meant class grades are neagtively skewed,you meant it in the grade school or is generalized across all the classes irrespective of the course and also is difficulty of the course factored in?

[@-wandergaming-6569]

Great info ty now I can finish my Khan Academy

[@garvitpoddar6947]

How do we decide the width of boxplots?

[@debrafrederick5300]

Is there a textbook that I could purchase that would help me in your course here? Thanks
