Understanding Confidence Intervals: Statistics Help

[@ray4493]

Why can’t we find lectures like these in actual classes? Simple, to the point. Thanks ma’am.

[@Loves2spooch123]

My professor explains this for a month and I don't get it at all. I watch 40 seconds of your video and I get the Idea. Thank you so much!

[@DrNic]

Thanks for the endorsement. It is such a tricky idea until you get it, and then it seems quite obvious!

[@adiyogi-thefirstguru5144]

ha ha ha..

[@TOpCoder100]

The same. Just the simple example with apples and it becomes obvious indeed. Thank you!

[@renatarosik8600]

@@adiyogi-thefirstguru5144 so true :-D

[@bamwrites42]

Agreed. Very clear

[@DrNic]

Thanks. It has taken me a few years to really get my head around confidence intervals and how to explain them so I'm glad you like it.

[@marwamokhtar8469]

Thank you for your efforts.

[@andeslam7370]

Thank you for your efforts.

[@saidinakar8382]

excellent explanation

[@evahorvat2614]

🥰🥰

[@degenerate_kun_69]

damn, why are all the old 4 minute videos the best study material I've seen? They explain the concept so well and easily!

[@federicogomez4982]

IB Student here: struggling to make a really good Math SL IA on statistics, wants to use confidence interval, the entirety of the internet has no comprehensible info. *watches literally a 4 min long video and now understands perfectly*. Thanks. Seriously, youve saved my life

[@jimhesson]

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!

[@DrNic]

+Jim Hesson Thanks for that. Too often the explanations are about the mathematics, whereas we stick to the concepts.

[@aaykumar-tf6gy]

Rightly said jim.

[@Miguel-xk5sl]

@@aaykumar-tf6gy F*ckin right abhay!

[@nha8909]

using apples as an example is so smart, i literarily remember the apples when i get confused with CI

[@electricfrequent]

I liked the highly pedagogical way you use apples to visualize variation, sampling size, etc. This video was very helpful for me in order to understand confidence intervals. Thank you!

[@iClone316]

This was super clear and helpful, and the Australian accent makes it even more enjoyable.

[@DrNic]

That's great - only it is a New Zealand accent. ;)

[@iClone316]

Oops! Sorry about that :)

[@DrNic]

No worries! It's a common mistake.

[@deborahtowner3230]

can't believe I realized that before I saw your reply... only know a couple of NZers but your accent is distinct and awesome

[@nizamyunus4843]

I thought she is british.

[@javedsaifi8871]

I searched on google, read many blogs but didn't find any of them helpful, but this video makes all my doubts clear, Thank you.

[@EDUARDO12348]

I took statistics a long while back and these videos helped me then and continue to help me now that am reviewing because more and more statistics is being used in my field. Thank you very much.

[@sediye]

This is incredible, very clear , concise, I cant believe I understand it.

[@giselegiram]

This video is so helpful especially for students studying the Business Data Analysis and Interpretation subject and other subjects. Thanks for sharing.

[@DrNic]

Hi Gisele - Thank you for all your positive comments.

[@giselegiram]

Hi Statistics Learning Centre, you're welcome and thanks a lot for all your great videos. Amazing.

[@UrefutGeonsur]

You're simply the best... Better than all the rest. I'm 99% sure of it with a very tiny confidence interval.

[@StuffOffYouStuff]

Just what I was looking for, an explanation without getting bogged down in the equations. I understand these now! A fantastic communicator! Thank you.

[@DrNic]

Thank you - your comment made my day

[@tararose1972]

This has been the most helpful video to date. I will be subscribing and am feeling much more optimistic about my stats class (my weakest area). Thank you!!!

[@renatarosik8600]

Videos are definitely much more helpful and easier to understand than reading boring (for me) books or articles

[@mariadizon7349]

Super clear. Was sitting in lecture trying to understand this concept from my prof. This video cleared everything up!! Thank you.

[@DrNic]

Thanks Maria - glad to be of help. Confidence intervals are pretty tricky. Tell your friends about my channel ;)

[@dianebuckle5093]

You made an intimidating subject easy to understand.. Thanks

[@muhddanial2069]

im crying while watching this, the way you motivate us at the beginning of the video, really really really appreciate it, thank god you made this vid, it has been so bad since the pandemic, these online classes didnt get me anywhere other than a loop of depression. THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS

[@DrNic]

I am so glad I can help you like this. Statistics can be a very difficult subject to learn but it doesn't need to be. I hope my videos continue to help you.

[@suzannejohnston2273]

You have made my day! Thanks to your brilliant concise teaching, I have been able to have the 'Eureka!' moment I needed to finish my medical stats assignment. I know where I'll be returning, come exam time! Thank you!

[@DrNic]

That is great to hear. Let me know if you need anything specific that isn't here.

[@farhanaditya2647]

Holy f. Even AI couldn't explain it as simple as you did. Thank you so much.

[@DrNic]

Glad it helped! That is high praise

[@highcotton63664]

My prof is like Billy on Family Circus that circles every which way and doesn't take a straight and logical path. Dr. Nic takes that straight and logical path. Thanks!

[@DrNic]

You are most welcome. It is easy to be confusing around confidence intervals.

[@Picknikly]

absolutely brilliant, madam! Just great explanation, have again written down every word you said! Thank you so much!

[@DrNic]

Happy to hear it!

[@Beco-x2v]

Beautiful explanation. Visually/conceptually. Lovely job.

[@sanjayr.prajapati3496]

This video is like: "Old is gold" Video. VERY HELPFUL, THANKS...

[@DrNic]

Pleased to hear it. Thanks.

[@TheRealFallingFist]

Amazing video, no filler, just proper, straight to the point explanations. I appreciate the time you take to help students. Thank you!

[@DrNic]

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.

[@priyeshvpplus]

An apple in a Lecture makes the concept more clearer...Thanks

[@esthercohen8193]

This is so helpful thank you. I really enjoy research and as a student Nurse Practitioner am doing a course in advanced research for my masters. I wanted to just get my head around the basics again, this is totally brilliant thank you I have recommended it to my colleagues.

[@grantguo9399]

What a good video! I am now clear about CI. Many many thanks

[@DrNic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@amirestebari1470]

I am very happy that I have found your channel. Thank you for your helpful videos. The concepts that professors have difficulty explaining we learn in less than 10 minutes from you.

[@boompsr5022]

brilliant thank you! I have been struggling with this for months and after watching your 4 minute video it makes sense!

[@simfromzim]

This was outstanding. can't believe you fit so much knowledge, in such a small amount of time, with all of it being so understandable!

[@DrNic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@philipaklorbortu6192]

I can't believe i have obtained this much of information in just 4 mins

[@DrNic]

That made me smile - glad I could be of help!

[@PoseidonXIII]

Loved all the different apples, very pleasantly drawn!

[@datu7270]

This is the best video that I have seen on this topic. You made it so easy to understand. Thank you!

[@DrNic]

Thanks Danilo. I think many instructors use a mathematical approach, which doesn't fit well with the learners' way of understanding. I try to explain things in a conceptual way rather than mathematically. So glad it worked for you!

[@AC-xi1xd]

this lady is a legend! thank you so much!

[@DrNic]

Happy to hear that.

[@jataecaldwell9115]

Thank you for shedding some light on this subject.

[@jwest997]

Thank you so much for this video. It's clear and I enjoyed the visual demonstration with that apples. Made it much easier to understand compared to my textbook and other videos I've found online.

[@cesargomez2860]

You are an angel, thank you so much, your example and explanation gave me a good intuition and a mental model on what a confidence interval is and why do you use it. Thank you!

[@DrNic]

I'm really glad to hear that.

[@PhoenixGraz]

Wow, this was very informative, clear, and a great revision! But a little super-fast, I had troubles following both the images and voice at the same time at times.

[@DrNic]

Hi We make them fast on purpose so they are not too boring. You can use the pause button to stop when you need to think more about something. Or you can watch it more than once.

[@hannaholding7742]

Loved this simple and beautifully articulated video. You saved me hours and headaches! Thank you so much! I wish we had uni classes like yours!!! - Fred

[@DrNic]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MyteeBumbleBee]

WELL DONE, Dr. Nic! Your presentation provided a solid synopsis of confidence intervals and lays great groundwork for understanding the calculation portion of this method.

[@DrNic]

You're very welcome! That is what I was aiming for. I found that students could often calculate a confidence interval but did not really know what it was. I show how to calculate in a later video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWW2g5eXid6Wl9k

[@AmitSealAmi]

You are awesome and you know it!

the visualisation, explanation and pace is perfect. excellent education.

[@DrNic]

Thank you - I put a lot of effort into all those aspects so it is great to be appreciated.

[@Photon-1927]

Salute you for simple explanation. Some people make things hard sadly

[@DrNic]

It is true. It is sometimes “the tyranny of the expert” that when someone understands something they find it hard to remember what it was like not to understand. I found statistics really baffling when I learned it, and it is through teaching that I have increased my understanding.

[@You_Manos_Tube]

Very impressing presentation about sample variation and CI !!! Thank you very much!

[@user-ih2mt6ge7x]

Still helping people 10 years later!

[@eughyuck]

Thank you. I’m so fed up with my teachers displaying everything algebraically and never providing any context nor questions.

[@DrNic]

I found that too - so I wanted to provide conceptual explanations
