    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.

    thanks a lot for doing the entire derivation thing, I couldn't understand two formulas for covariance while I wasn't able to derive one from another

      Amen .... statistics teachers need to be taught statistics using simpler methods such as this, especially the understandability for beginners of the EXPECTED notation method. So much easier than smashing students with symbols they don't understand and then muttering about how formula A translates to formula B because of "adfjhasdfljhasbdclahbflwhef". Students all migrate directly to the bar after class, for some reason :)

    Thanks for the great video Khan! One question, so does multiple regression has the same thing? say i have b0, b1, b2 (b0 is the intercept), then do we still have b1, and b2 with the same formula? Cov(y, x1)/ var(x1), and Cov(y, x2)/var(x2)? Thank you!

    Yes, it is the mean but it should be differed from the mean of a sample. The expected value is the mean of a population, of what to expect as the mean of the population.

    Sal,
    The covariance is related to the correlation function of two variables and also convolution.

  • @rizwanshahid8242

    can you please do a video on sample co variance and why we use n-1 in the formula for sample covariance and not n-2

  • @JI77469
    @JI77469 6 років тому

    "...then it would make sense that they have a negative covariance: when one goes up the other goes down, when one goes down, the other goes up." Why is something like this always said in favor of "...when one goes above its mean, the other goes below it's mean, when one goes below it's mean, the other goes above it's mean." Why does it matter if one goes up/one goes down if it's not relative to the mean? Or is this what is really meant when one says colloquially "if one goes up the other goes down"? Just trying to clarify since I'm teaching covariance soon...

    I dont even know why Universities exist. Sal is providing an amazing service for free while universities provide a joke of a service for a lot of money. Sal should therefore put universities out of business but these cancerous institutions just do not disappear . This guy is what you call a teacher not some joke of a stuck up professor. No homework, no BS modules, no time wasting with commuting, just pure learning the way you want it at peace in your home; how it should be.

    • @jim8289
      @jim8289 5 років тому +2

      Hi, its been a while since you posted but I'll try my best to answer in case anyone else has the same question. (x^2)bar is simply squaring all the x values and dividing it by the number of points. It is finding the mean of x values, however you square the x values. E.g. (2,3), (1,2) - it would be (2^2+1^2) / 2 = 5/2. (xbar)^2 is finding x-bar and literally squaring that amount. Using the prev. example - (2+1)/2 = 3/2. However this is squared so answer is (3/2)^2 = 9/4

  • @wielkiemico7740
    @wielkiemico7740 3 роки тому

    It does not explain anything. You take the covariance definition out of nothing, do some simple algebra and state that this is a numerator in the formula for the slope. The question is: why does this formula look like so? And why covariance is defined this way?
