WHAT IS A CONFIDENCE INTERVAL??? an intro fo yo

What is a confidence interval? It is a guess, and educated one. It is a "parameter catcher" and you hope to catch the true parameter.. but you never know if you actually did, because you don't know which p-hat you randomly got!!!

[@cato1213]

You are the Billy Mays of statistics.

[@brits6251]

Amazing. Billy Mays probably could have been a great teacher!!

[@thesarahroom]

I have learned more in two of your videos than in 50 hours of lectures from my stats professor. Thank you.

[@indrabali5269]

our stat professor normally gives us formula at the beggining , not the understanding.. that's the problem.

[@nickbohl2555]

four years later and that's still happening

[@TheRealMake-Make]

Thank you, sir! I appreciate your enthusiasm...the other videos gave me critical Zs.

[@MrNystrom]

Lol! Thanks!

[@abokbeer]

You are the sun shine of Statistics. Brilliant

[@EvilSpeculator]

Came for the math, stayed for the hat.

[@hayleyschimmer]

Thank you for seriously saving my ass during finals week, your videos are a life saver for college level statistics.

[@tonymp]

Awesome. Dude, you are awesome. I should be giving you my tuition instead of giving it to UH

[@jaynebeldrake3226]

I just showed this to my yr 12 Maths class. They giggled about the p hats, and true p, but came out of the lesson confident about finding confidence intervals, so win. :) I love your enthusiasm

[@shaelah.mcgilton]

You are so good at putting visuals in the viewers minds. The examples you give are awesome. Also your enthusiasm, hand motions, speech, eye contact ect. Makes the 15mins feel like 3. Wish you were my teacher

[@BetterWorldStudios]

I'm a 50 year old woman going back for my MBA and I absolutely love your videos. I'm using them to supplement my Quantitative Analysis course videos because it's been years since I took stats - and these videos are helping make sense of it all in my current course. Keep on teaching!!! And thank you!

[@SaviorThree]

Phenomenally better teaching than most stats resources I've found, which are dry and don't give proper treatment to tricky concepts. Thanks

[@tychobrahe7243]

"Imagine me standing in a p-hat" Great video, thanks

[@Charango123quena]

sir ; you are the defining meaning of what a teacher should be. your best and only destiny is to teach; to do anything else, would be a loss for us all

[@adityagopalakrishnan3149]

Incredible, beautiful...thank you, thank you, thank you! I can see myself from other subjects in you but couldn't get a hang of what was happening in Statistics till I watched these....thank you so much!

[@d3nn15]

Ahh wow, I have been trying to understand confidence interval for hours now and then I find this video and it made it so clear! Thank you!!

[@juliag6666]

Absolutely the best video I have seen on this topic, really great explanations and emphasis on important things!!

[@ashleytalley1057]

Thank you for this video. Your humor and enthusiasm kept my attention! It was truly helpful!

[@jillbrown787]

These videos are SO awesome!! They help me a lot and they are so fun and entertaining to watch.😂 Thank you for helping me make a 100 on my Confidence Intervals quiz in AP Stats!!!!

[@nackyding]

Thanks! Wish I had, had teacher's like you growing up! Lot's of energy and VERY simple ways of explaining. Thanks again!

[@janicer6683]

Heck of a lecture! Once again, this instructor breaks the code.

[@evayuen8351]

you are such a great teacher!! REALLY appreciate your efforts and videos man

[@TheLuebShow]

Excellent method of teaching. You make someone want to know the meaning behind it rather than just, "How do I calculate it?"

[@jacekprus6469]

I love your enthusiasm man, hope you continue with this passion!

[@starcarbonracer]

Perfect for my low attention span

[@nessak9779]

That summary of statistics at the end is the BEST I’ve ever heard. 😂

[@adamzerner5208]

Thank you! I had been struggling to understand the theory behind confidence intervals but the following line of thought you used did the trick for me. "_Start off_ by _supposing_ that you know μ. That tells you what the distribution of x̅'s will look like (Gaussian around μ)! Suppose that you happened to choose an x̅ that is -1 SDs from μ. When you construct a 95% CI, it'll contain μ. Suppose you happened to choose an x̅ that is -3 SDs from μ. When you construct a 95% CI, the CI won't contain μ. Repeat this line of thought for different x̅'s and you'll see that the constructed CI will contain μ for all of the x̅'s between -2 and 2 SDs from μ, which is 95% of the x̅'s."

[@ChrisChanIAm]

That high-pitched "MEAHHHHHHN" at the end scared the fuck out of me.

[@jackdevalle7578]

Dude it's 9 years later and you're helping me my university statistics unit. Thank you for all of your help!

[@afnan_s]

Bless you, man! Thanks for saving my head from exploding.

[@deannaferko-chinca1539]

Love all your Videos!! I am SO thankful to have these, made the whole difference in my understanding of Stats!! I love you personality, you make it fun and easy to understand the subject!!! Keep teaching, keep making videos. 👍🏻

[@anindyaadhikary007]

[@anayakulkarni8894]

This was very useful and gave me a lot of clarity about the concepts! Thank you for putting in so much effort into this! :)

[@nyawirawaithaka4993]

This is the best explanation of what a Confidence Interval is! Thank you!

[@sku5088]

[@julieorr6051]

[@angelinazha4566]

[@ahmadnabawi5060]

persona *

[@Mnetti00]

You are the f’n man!! Thanks a lot professor.

[@ethicalpervert]

15:22 ".. the thing is you don't know.. you will never know.. get used to it.. that's what statistics is like what we do is we just kinda say sort of what kinda might happen we hope or think.. could" That is actually a very accurate definition of Statistics!

[@Bill.R.124]

Calm the hell down, and take off that hat : ) That being said, I LOVE your enthusiasm! Plus, after a minute or two I actually NOW understand this stuff. Well done teacher.

[@jackrua9052]

Love your videos. Thank you for putting them out there.

[@HangoverPictures]

Thank you for your explanation and perspective which greatly helped to clarify this confusing subject. Much clearer now! Also,I love the hat.

[@bjarbj944]

I always imagine hippie math teachers know some secret to life that I don't....

[@melissakorba8320]

I love your videos! Great explanations and excellent energy, you are a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much!!

[@flacaz13]

I love your enthusiasm; it is engaging and a speed I can keep up with. Your videos are helpful and getting me through college statistics (:

[@aaaaaaaaa161]

Literally giving a standing ovation from my dorm room!

[@gracehawkins8546]

This video is great!! I'm not a math person so I struggle to pay attention in class and while watching videos. Your passion and charisma was refreshing and gave me clarity.

[@JackBrunelle]

I paused it 5 seconds before the video ended to go back to the HW problem I was working on, but then said to myself, "This guy is funny/weird enough that he's probably going to say something a second before the video is over." So I pressed play and what did I get......"MEA!!"

[@mcviey9355]

Thank you so much ! This was the best video I could come across to clarify my doubts. Not a bit boring and I am 95% sure no one else could teach is a better way :P

[@Jessiasdfghjkl2]

Excellent video. First one I found that I feel clearly explains confidence intervals

[@IsaIsa-sk3vp]

I love your hat!!!and your video! xD

[@carolinemcdougall3422]

I just wanted to say that this was a fantastic video explaining confidence interval. I am studying Biostatistics and I felt so "confident" ...aha...going into my test after watching this video. You have quite a talent for teaching! Thank you for your help!

[@adityapasari2548]

Excellent video. Thanks man !!

[@iMedTube]

The best video I've seen in statistics so far. (You have to know the binomial distribution first to get the whole picture)

[@fabiolamoncerratperez9860]

You're saving my life man! Thanks!!!!! :)))

[@bazalbaz]

13:02 Best moment in teaching history

[@IncHulk]

Thank you so much for that great explanation! But, to clarify, how do you reconcile what you said at 6:16 with what you said at 12:18? I think the latter is the correct explanation of CI, but just want to be sure I'm not misunderstanding something here. Thank you!

[@akj375]

Fantastic explanation my friend. Thank you for spending the time to develop the tutorials you've made.

[@lisahoward7516]
