What students love
“A very simple and intuitive metaphor that I often use when thinking about the mean is to imagine values in a tug-of-war game. Outliers pull the rope strongly, potentially switching teams.”

“As a statistics student, there are so many concepts in probability a single video can't cover. This is a great video! Future ideas: moments, cumulants, entropy, KL divergence, multivariate distributions.”

“This analysis is very insightful. The concept is on full display in financial markets with daily leveraged ETFs where the average return of the underlying is meaningless.”

“Great video as always! For hands-on learning, could you drop a practice problem/solution in the comments for Python or paper to do a knowledge check?”

What could be better
“But I pretty much knew all of this. Nothing changed. You lied to me.”

“Is there a confusion here between 'average' and 'expected' speed? Average speed by definition comes from total distance over total time. So the example to begin with is not correct, I think.”

“The car example in the video is incorrect. Average speed of 20 means that in the past many drivers rode 20 km in 1 hour. So your expectation is 1 hour of drive, and the video is wrong.”
“Who are you trying to dazzle with your BS? Just show that when f(x) is nonlinear, usually avg[f(x)] is not equal to f(avg(x)).”
