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.

You earned my subscription when you said we were rolling a singular die, not 'singular dice'.

The value of these videos is way underestimated! Thank you!!!

You are great at explaining these concepts. I was wondering if there are any statistics and/or probability textbooks that you like in particular.

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.

I always get excited when I get a notification that you dropped a video and you never disappoint. These are review materials for me but I always learn something!

Incredible video! Great explanation and top-notch graphics.

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?

Amazingly clear explanation, you didn't make too big jumps without explaining it, which is not a common thing. Thanks.

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)).
