What is a P Value? What does it tell us?

Discussion about the p value... what it means and how to interpret it. If the null were true! reject or fail to reject?

[@TrueHunter999]

Can we all agree that the schools need teachers like this dude?

[@DAWEKimbo]

No

[@MegaMilkshakeLive]

Omg! I went through about 12 web pages and 15 videos to try and understand what the hell the p-value was all about. None of them helped and I was about to give up, but I thought i'll give it one more shot and watch this vid and guess what...I understand what the p-value is saying now. Thank you so much sir! You are amazing! Never stop educating! You have the gift of being able to communicate and teach in such a way that people actually understand what you are saying, instead of regurgitating textbooks!

[@scottseptember1992]

+MegaMilkshakeLive I did something about the same! This was the last video I was going to see before calling it quits! LOL what are the odds of that happening randomly assuming I wasn't stalking your web browsing behavior? HAHAH

[@MegaMilkshakeLive]

+scottseptember1992 hahaha if u come up with a p-value for such a scenario let me know LOL

[@unknownusername791]

then i guess i was lucky to find this video first. nice explaination though

[@pasqualenicolo4760]

yes! really amazin! same for me! and I am italian! This has been the best explanation even better than documents i have read. So good teacher! (I understand english but i have also used subtitles :D)

[@centroinfissi6986]

[@santoshpandey23]

Cant't believe that p value can be explained in such a simple manner...amazing..good work..

[@finetun3d]

this guy is what every teacher should strive to emulate

[@wildstylejewelry3743]

This video could have been 1/2 the time. We get it, he had his espresso.

[@DAWEKimbo]

Not at all

[@ProdTec]

You're like the Jack Black of statistics.

[@viv30406]

Hahaha, good one! Made my day!

[@That_ONEguy15]

You're not wrong at all I love it

[@beccafull9806]

omg I was just gonna say that

[@cyborgtemplar1989]

agreed, and it's substantially more helpful than books which are chalked full of terminology. and then use terminology to explain terminology . . . . . blah

[@orbivictting5470]

@@cyborgtemplar1989 You are reading books written in chalk? that's dedicated man!

[@tinykitchengreattastebighe6244]

If I could hire you as a tutor, no matter the price... I would... I now understand the function of a p-value and will probably review every hypotheses, going forward with your voice in my head. Thank you.

[@tsepangmassa2610]

I'm not done watching this video yet and I feel I need to pause it in order to share my excitement, this is reeeaaalllyyy good, I'd been struggling with this p-value this but now I understand. Great job man

[@SalvationsElite]

This is actually an amazing video. I'll pray that you get a massive raise

[@sepehrpiri2782]

It's amazing to see how nicely someone can teach tedious stat materials. Great job bro

[@letslearn822]

watched this 8 years later and it is far better than anything on the internet

[@shmashley]

Thank you Mr. Nystrom!! I've been banging my head against the wall over a stats class for WEEKS. 5 minutes into this video, I had an "AH-HA!!". You da bomb.

[@redangrybird7564]

The problem with College Statistics is that you are taught a bunch of formulas before you understand the concept, this video teaches the concept in an understandable way. Good work!! 😁👍

[@reneeacosta4420]

Red Angry Bird Well said...you have to lay down the foundation first, and then add to it. -Let me conceptualize the material first, so I can know how to maneuver around what is being taught and how to answer the questions.

[@thegreatbabaganush]

I have been struggling in my statistics class and by far and away this video helped me out tremendously! The Macho Man impression at the end was awesome! Statistics aside I can see this guy in a movie with Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill. Thank you Mr. Nystrom I am so happy I found your channel!!!

[@mrt2738]

You are a magician. Thank you for the explanation! The word randomly will never get out if my mind again!

[@manishasachdeva5610]

No one has ever explained p-value so beautifully. Everytime I prepare for an interveiw, I go back to this video . Thank you so much

[@TheAwesomeDarkNinja]

"Null hypothesis is the 'nothing weird is going on' hypothesis". Holy crap you have just made that connect for me. I keep messing up Null but I finally get it.

[@kuchabhi]

O man, This is the best explanation of p-value that I have come across!

[@siddharthpandey2118]

That is also the wrong explaination! refer this video by statquest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4ucgHyPdp17m5o

[@matthewellingsworth3987]

Best description I have seen/heard yet! After a year, I finnally feel like I totally understand!

[@courtnehhh.2]

YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER! Seriously talented! I've watched about 5 videos and read a bunch of definitions and haven't really understood what a P-value was until I watched your video! Seriously THANK YOU! Keep it up!

[@delpetra]

I'm so happy that you're back! I'm currently doing statistics at A-Level in the UK and my teacher plays us your videos in class and everyone finds them so helpful. Thank you so much for all the effort you've put into them, I can't wait to see more.

[@ilyjeiden]

I can't believe how easy and fun this was. I didn't smile let alone laugh with the other 10 videos I watched before this. Ur awesome n helpful af! I honestly appreciate this. Thank YOU! UR A LIFE SAVER, LITERALLY!

[@thadiorobledoqueirozolivei1740]

Besides not the exact explanation of the p-value, it is THE BEST EXPLANATION ever made. People can get clear vision of what a p-value stands for.

[@networthvsnetworth6134]

Thank you. You explained it with clarity, humour and passion.

[@anirbanaws143]

This is Brilliant! All these years later, I can finally explain this to anyone. Thank you. :)

[@abdzaitoon1207]

you are amazing, it is just the first time i see someone who make it that crystal clear, again thank you you're the best

[@brooklynlea2719]

Honestly the best explanation of the P value that I've come across so far. You explain it very casually and it's relatable. Frustrated with teaching using complex terminology and no examples that you can relate too. Keep up the good work.

[@siddharthpandey2118]

That is also the wrong explaination! refer to this video by statquest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4ucgHyPdp17m5o

[@PriscillaJostes]

I watched so many different videos to understand the p-value. Then I watched yours and I finally understood it.

[@yasharzargari4360]

OMG! I was searching and reading about p-value 2 days and you explain it to me in 10 mins. Thank you.

[@JustinZymbaluk]

Absolutely excellent. Thank you for the intuition Mr. Nystrom!

[@nametakenfan]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I have been trying to understand p-values for years. I've read dozens of examples and even seen a bunch of "simple" explanations on youtube and this is the very first time it's actually made sense. You're the best!

[@natalieazevedo]

I am a math major...I have taken mulitple statistics classes and I came to the conclusion that I just did not like statistics and would never get it. I never really understood what the p-value represented, and I thought it was a lost cause....but now I understand!!!! Thank you sooooo much!

[@dustindouros7341]

This is absolutely brilliant. The way this was just explained makes the concept seem simple. But no joke, I've been sifting through textbooks, websites, and videos, and just been completely perplexed. You're a goddamn master. I can't tell if it's your eccentricity, or just the way you word it. Regardless, thank you, what a boss.

[@tarakbiswas9085]

After watching the p-value explanation I just naturally clapped. This is something I never did before. Then I looked at the comments and realized many felt the same way. You will live forever sir.

[@jasonscott3416]

That was an awesome explanation of P value and the relationship to testing a hypothesis!! You Rock!

[@brunar3276]

The best explanation of P-value ever!!!!!!! I love that you triggered me to think about it instead of doing it mechanically. It made so much sense. Thank you!

[@jessicaskingel9195]

You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never ever EVER thought stats would be fun, let alone funny!!!

[@fasihz]

That enthusiasm is contagious. Brilliant video.

[@lynnillinois]

I wish my kids would have had you as a teacher! This makes sense now. THANK YOU.

Sometimes you just need someone to put math in a different way in order to understand it. Thank you sir for sharing it helped!

[@henjelucy]

fantastic energy! and thank you for being one of the very RARE people to explain this slowly and in plain english!

This is incredible. This explanation should be the best of the all explanations i have ever heard, seen, and witnessed.
