    Probability and statistics on Khan Academy: We dare you to go through a day in which you never consider or use probability. Did you check the weather forecast? Busted! Did you decide to go through the drive through lane vs walk in? Busted again! We are constantly creating hypotheses, making predictions, testing, and analyzing. Our lives are full of probabilities! Statistics is related to probability because much of the data we use when determining probable outcomes comes from our understanding of statistics. In these tutorials, we will cover a range of topics, some which include: independent events, dependent probability, combinatorics, hypothesis testing, descriptive statistics, random variables, probability distributions, regression, and inferential statistics. So buckle up and hop on for a wild ride. We bet you're going to be challenged AND love it!
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    My stats teacher just throws a bunch of formulae on the board, and then when you have to do stuff I have no idea where the distributions come from or what they are used for, how to use them, or what they mean.

    When the probability is .3, that gives us the value at 2.41 … but aren’t we looking for values greater than 2.41? I think I’m misunderstanding. I would think the answer would be .3 if the question asked P(Q2 ≥ 2.41) … but since we’re strictly looking for values greater than 2.41 I would think we would move up one box … can anyone explain?

    So, I'm studying for Actuarial Exam P and in a sample exam i'm taking, there is a time when I have to just somehow know that the sum of two squared standard normal random variables is exponentially distributed. Well, more precisely, I"m asked to find the moment generating function of (X^2 + Y^2) / 2 where X and Y are distributed N(0, 1), but in the solution they just throw out there that "Obviously" X^2 + Y^2 is exponentially distributed with hazard rate 0.5 and mean 2. I just don't know how they know that. Wouldn't it be easier to use that this would be Chi-squared?

    • @eXcelMathS
      @eXcelMathS 5 років тому

      you can prove by joint pdf of X and Y, and switch to polar coordinates that sum of squared standard normal random variable is exponential distributed. It all depends on how the questions are phrased though

    Im not sure I understood much from this explanation. I would have prefered a more practical application. Could you indicate if you have another video. Also as it relates to the degree of freedom I was a little confused as I thought it was n-1 but you seem to suggest its = to n

  • @user-mu4uy8dv1y
    @user-mu4uy8dv1y 6 років тому

    For degrees of freedom, why are we not applying the rule of n-1. E.g. If you take a sample of 1, you are saying the df is 1 but should it not be (1-1) 0?

    • @eXcelMathS
      @eXcelMathS 5 років тому

      the rule of n-1 is applied supposingly when X ~ N(mu, sigma^2) where mu is unknown and you use the sample mean to estimate. Because mu is being estimated it takes away 1 degree of freedom when doing chi square test.
      By the way in this case X has to be converted to standard normal first because it is not.

    Although derived from one another, standard deviation isn't the same as variance. It's true that variance is the measure of spread of the data around the mean, but it by itself can't be interpreted. If we take the square root of the variance, we obtain the standard deviation, which is what we see when we look at spread around the mean in the normal distribution. In the case of N(0, 1), the population mean is zero and its variance is one; the square root of one is one, so our standard deviation becomes one. If we have N (0, 2), however, then we have a mean of zero and a standard deviation of ~1.41.
