    I can't believe that I just learned and understood how to calculate standard deviation in under 5 minutes. 1 professor, 2 TAs, and 3 math tutors could not do it over a 3 week period. I wish you happiness, health, and prosperity forever.
    Thank you.

      I mean, that is what caused you to come over here and learn it by youself right? Your tutors achieved the goal of making you do what they wanted you to do.

    Dude bless your soul..I literally cried for like 30 minutes because this stats class seems so hard and its the one class left to get my degree...I watched this video and did a practice problem and got it right...by the way, this is my third try at this stats class and until now have I felt any type of understanding...I wish you could train teachers and professors on how to teach math... Bless you!

      @@mumiscrunk please do more , I'm a visual learner and abysmal at basic math . There's no help at all for people like me because visualisations aren't that common , it's usually just someone trying to explain it mathematically and to me that's just as hard 😭. Thanks so much for this and the previous video explaining what s.d is

    I watched your other video on "Standard Deviation - Explained and Visualized," but really needed this one which helped a lot. One good example related to practical every day life is determining the standard deviation of how much I spend on lunch every day. This will help me plan my budget. Thanks.

    I don't know if this will help but
    in order to memorize the sequence of operations, I came up of an acronym:
    MD SMR or you could pronounce it as "Mad Summer" where...
    M=Mean
    D=Difference
    S=Square
    M=Mean (again)
    R=Root

    My only option was to take stats as an online class at my school. This literally explained in less than 5 minutes what I've been trying to learn in the last half hour! Thank you so much for the simplification and visual explanations!

    0:52 Calculate Mean

    1:32 Square each difference
    1:57 Calculate the Mean of the Squares
    2:12 Take the square root

    Thank you! NOW I get what an SD is. I just watched another video that "explained and visualized" standard deviation (I think it may have been one of your videos) without explaining it at all; it only explained the usage. And the video left me just as puzzled afterwards as I was before. But now I get it!
