None of your videos are working for some reason... they wont play passed like 3minutes

thanks, helped out a lot !
-
if given a question like 'invent 2 data sets, each with 7 values, so set A has a greater std. deviation and set B has a greater interquartile range"? (but not given any numbers or other tips) how would you decide if a set of data had those things
-
Does this apply to Stats?
-
The formula with (n-1) as the denominator is the estimate deviation, you use it with sample data.
-
Your n-1 is used in computing the mean, not the standard deviation.
-
hmm i thought the standard deviation has the denomintaor as (n-1). it should b 54/4 = 13.5 square root of that is 3.6 the closest answer would be 3.3.

Ah thank's for clearing that up for me :D and thank you sooo much for carrying on making video's i've been watching them for around 2 years now :O, I had my S1 paper last friday and think i did pretty well can only recall going wrong on one question which was work out E(X) and the variance from a probability table labled r 1 2 3 4
P(x=r)0.65 0.05 0.05 0.25
Still not to sure how to get the variance from a probability table do you have to use E(X) to find the mean?

started stats 3 days ago
hope it goes all well
nice vid



hang on aren't you working out the RMSD (root mean squared deviation) not the standard since they have changed it so it's now the root of sxx over n-1 ... and i think the variance is now the sum of the squared difference from the mean divided by n-1. Well that's what I'm suppose to know for my statistics as paper tomorrow....

When you divide by n-1 instead of n, you are figuring out the sample variance, not the population variance. I'll do a whole video on this.
