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]

[@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

[@santoshpandey23]

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

[@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.

[@stevenscott8116]

Jesus, dude! In 10 minutes, you explained something that my professor couldn't in an entire semester. Awesome job!!

[@GustavoOliveira-gp6nr]

after watching 3857194 videos on youtube to understand the p-value and still being counfused, I finally found this video. Great job man

[@stevesavage4419]

He is the GOAT of simplifying concepts! Hail to the king

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@kairatkempirbaev7183]

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

[@sepehrpiri2782]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@fasihz]

That enthusiasm is contagious. Brilliant video.

[@SalvationsElite]

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

[@PriscillaJostes]

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

[@olayinkaoluwatoba7840]

This is the best video that truly explains what P value means. Thank you.

[@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.

[@eclairsblog]

Tiny

[@anne-mariegoodman6996]

This guy is so good at explaining stats. The best I've found.

[@mrt2738]

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

[@anastasia8717]

Great video. Thanks! Couldn't wrap my brain around P values until I saw this.

[@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

[@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

[@lynnillinois]

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

[@mariusmyhre7594]

I wonder why so many of the explanations you find on youtube are so bloody convoluted...you made it extremely easy to understand.

[@anirbanaws143]

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

[@badcato2253]

Just in time! Thank you for the new videos. You are the only reason I am making it through college stats.

[@niloydas962]

This is the best explanation to p-value I have found or probably will ever find on the net or probably anywhere. I finally know what this term means!

[@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.

[@yasharzargari4360]

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

[@networthvsnetworth6134]

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

[@kimhansson8756]

Thiere are quiet a few people teaching statistics but this guy has an ability of making it interesting and entertaining! Thank you! God Bless!

[@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.

[@samanth7777]

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

[@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!

[@jonasvetter7929]

been looking for a good vid on p values and this guy just sums it up perfectly. Thank god someone who can speak my lingo!!!

[@yellowpurples832]

OMG!! I have never understood this topic from my "claiming they are" PhD professors. They don't even have the slightest talent to teach! UGH!! Thanks to you Bro! I salute you!

[@ishmeetsingh5553]

I saw like 10 videos for pvalue and significance and did not understand. By far, this guy nailedddd it. The explanation could not be better.

[@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!!!

[@Zonkerton]

This is the best description of p value i've heard. Mr. Nystrom is a good teacher.

[@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.

[@AmeerulIslam]

days after many videos and days of confusion I finally understood the concept of p value. I can't thank you enough.. Jakazallah!

[@brizzyontana608]

from Africa and this guy made me understand the P-value..thanks man.. you should come to African and teach the whole continent

[@jluczak18]

Very helpful explanation. Stats textbooks don't give such a simple example of a p-value. Nicely done. I finally understand what it means.

[@hmmmph3578]

The problem with Statistics is that learning this subject is BORING. You, Sir, have changed all that. You have a gift. Thank you. I get it now.

[@matthewellingsworth3987]

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

[@BambiOnIce19]

The best explanation of the p value and the null hypothesis i've come across. I didn't know what the p value was until today.... LOLOL You are a genius!

[@jacksonbrocato9704]

This math video made the most sense out of any I’ve ever watched. Thanks dude

[@maryannwolfenson875]

I cannot say enough about what you presented here. I for the first time in my long life, 60 truly understand the P value. I cannot thank you enough

[@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!

[@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!

Like seriously dude, thank you so much. I’ve been wondering this for quite awhile.. SUBSCRIBED!! And you deserve MORE subs!!

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

[@PoseidonXIII]

This really boosted my confidence on this subject! Thanks for making such a daunting topic so personable!!

[@John-fy9uq]

holy shit, ive been going to university and writing papers not fully understanding what p-value meant and nobody could really explain it. Now im writing my thesis and after like 5 videos and reading it on different websites still not understanding what it meant i come across this video and it finally landed. Wow thats just impressive teaching, thank you so much!

[@Staev]

Okay, I dropped out of a Ph.D political science program because I despise quantitative analysis with every fiber of my being, but this is spectacular. Well done.

Thank you so much for teaching like this. I got scared of pure mathematical lessons pretty easily!

[@HarshitJain1202]

I saw around 10 videos, so many blogs, wasted around hours of my time, but everyone messed it up, but you did an amazing job I learnt it while I was laughing, you're amazing, I wish our education system should be like we must be paying for the youtube videos, and not those stupid universities.

[@lancelot1953]

I know that I am an "old guy", I had to brush up on statistics for my post grad education when I came unto this great educational video - thank you so much for the time, effort and ... energy you have put into illustrating statistic mathematics. My hat to you! Ciao, L (and old graduate!)!
