This video will explain what the heck this thing is.. how it is formed... and why these "sampling distributions" are normalish, even when the population is bimodal
Thank God for this man. Genius in not only his academic subject, but in his presentation as well. He's accomplished solo in front of a camera what years worth of instructors I've had in classrooms never could. He's inspired me to genuinely care about the material and it's all thanks to that unrelenting enthusiasm. Wish they could all be this good.
I have had years of statistics and man I wish I had you in those early years...your training methods makes it all so simple; my middle school students love your videos. You are calm in an angry storm.
I truly applaud the energy level you display in each and every video of you channel. I have been significantly benefited by your channel. Thank you very much !
Please please never stop making these videos...your explanations are brilliant and they've completely stuck in my head! You are actually managing to make my revision fun
Perfect explanation with the enthusiasm and the jokes. Something u won't expect from a statistics teacher. You are the opposite of my teacher. Chapeaux , very helpful . keep it coming please:)
You are nuts! But having said that this video is one of the very few videos in youtube that explains correctly what the Central Limit Theorem (CTL) really is about. EXCELLENT JOB! Thumb up 225 is mine.
Hi Mr Nystrom, I love your videos. They are intuitive, practical and clear. Can you please do more statistics videos like poisson,, expected Value, joint density functions, marginal and conditional densitites, mgf, cdf, jointly distributed random variables. Thanks
You are an amazing teacher.... If instructors had just a little of what you have, students from all over would love math and the world would be a better place. I was on the brink of hitting my head against the desk tonight while doing my statistics homework and then I watched this video. You have an amazing gift and I thank you for sharing it with us!
+Susan Evans I completely agree with you. This guy is great and his energy is addictive. Like you I was so ready to just walk away from this but this guy gives me hope!!!
Great lecture and I've watched many over the last few days. For those that do not like it or find it helpful...just keep scrolling until you find what fits you. There is no need to complain about it or even tell anyone if you like it or not. What you find helpful; others may not. Just like clothing. If a beautiful dress does not fit your body type, it don't make the dress any less beautiful.
The image you give of the sample means dropping down to form a distribution of their own is such an ingeniously clear way to explain the CLT. Much thanks from me and my class!
Just an amazing teacher!!! I cannot STAND my statistics online class lecture taught by the most annoying, lip-smacking voice of a virtual instructor. Makes me want to cry actually. Mr Nystrom saves the day!
A rare ability to teach - great stuff. The enthusiasm, delivery and clarity is captivating - reminds me (in a good way) of Dennis Hopper's performance in "Apocalypse Now."
Thank you Mr. Nystrom, I have found your videos very helpful to follow your logic and aid my comprehension of what i thought was really confusing. Your teaching style superb.
you have brought a fresh , layman's version of stats to a nursing student and made it understandable, I am spreading the word to other students!!!Thanks !
man, do you have a HD version, your videos is the best, I love your style, man. I failed my stats before, I wished my lecturer explained as well as you did
In the preview picture I thought you were a hipster (forgive me!) with that beard and what I thought to be a sailor touque. After watching other videos and still being confused I tried out yours. Man alive! Yours is the BEST. Rather than being some hipster your an energetic bear. Keep up the fantastic work! I'll be consuming every video you have relevant to my stats course.
"KABOOM!" (brain explosion) the lights are in baby! Whoooooo! Thank you. Dude, it pays to be SMART and good lookin'...I"m just sayin'. Anyway, thank you for your break-down! I got it!
With all due respect assumed, I will state that I have never viewed an MrNystrom video in its entirety. I have difficulty listening to him, and that difficulty is exacerbated if I actually look at him while attempting to listen to him. This night, however, the hypnotic spell of "distaste" may have been broken by MrNystrom himself. At the 1:44 minutes marking, MrNystrom is heard paraphrasing unnamed Joe Blows: "The central limit theorem says if you take a sample from a bimodal population the distribution of your sample will be normal-ish." And, MrNystrom delivers with style. Busted my guts. I started from my clouded state of lethargy, and laughed aloud. Hopefully, this makes it possible for me to actually tolerate his personality, so that I can benefit from his enthusiastic and helpful lessons. Humbly, I admit that my problem is my problem and is not a problem created by MrNystrom. Thank you for being here and sharing your knowledge and zest.
I must say Thanks. Was going through various pdfs and presentations but was unable to visualise the C L theorem. As you summarised "its not about the individual x, but the x bars that we are concerned. So, when you take the X bars of a number of samples and plot them in frequency distribution, we get a normal distribution curve ~N(population mean, population standard deviation/sqrt n)" . The whole CLT becomes lucid with this summarization otherwise its easy to get lost in numerous texts where they straightway dive into formulas without giving you an conceptual understanding.
Can you use the new sampling distribution from the CLT to get the mode of the original distribution? Or can you only get an identical average using the CLT?
