    Hi from Italy!
    Finally I can write this very comment! I'VE PASSED MY STATISTICS EXAM :D
    This is basically thanks to your very clear explanations! The way you break down concepts is just the best! Thank you very much for helping students all over the world.

    This is a very late comment, but I case Zed still gets notifications: I’ve struggled with stats since college (40 years ago, ahem), but I’ve been trying to work on my understanding ever since. This vid has finally made p-values understandable. Thank you! Big fan.

    Hi Justin! Just wanted to say I was in one of your tutorials for BUSS1020 in my first year of uni and you were honestly one of the best tutors I’ve ever had. You were always so passionate and have made me enjoy statistics so much more! Thanks so much and awesome video!

    OHHH MY GOD THE BEST VIDEO IN INTERNET THAT ACUALLY EXPLAINED P VALULE WITH REALLY SIMPLE EXAMPLES, I WOULD RECOMEND THIS TO ANYONE IF SOMEONE ASK ME! THIS VIDEO IS PURE GOLD! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THINGS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

    23:20 - "Eighteen percent probability that the difference we are seeing here occured purely by random chance"
    Finally. I needed to hear these words. Understanding p-values was quite tough for me, I think i watched 10 video explainations but now it finally clicked in my head. Thank you very much

    • @neil6407
      @neil6407 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is not correct, exactly. I repeated this many times and would like to involve @zedstatistics once and hear his take on it. I believe the correct interpretation would be, "The p-value of 0.18 means that if the null hypothesis (H0) is true, there is an 18% probability of obtaining results as extreme or more extreme than those observed on repeated testing. This is not the same as saying that there is an 18% probability of obtaining the observed effect by chance." Though I understand this is a minor thing since you're rejecting it anyway, for understanding, it's more like percentage vs percentile. It's more about the cumulative probability of extremes vs the probability of this exact finding.

    Hi Zed ! Is it possible that one day you make a serie of videos where you just take a database and examine it juste like you’d do it as a statistician (for example, where do you begin, what questions do you ask yourself and how you answer them etc). I think it would be a perfect example that’ll show us how statisticians work ! Thank you for all your content

    I have to say this is the best and righteous video about P value, compare to a bunch of high-viewcount videos from blissfully misunderstood author about what p value is. Calculating the p value is not something complex, but the point that you really touch here is: Why rejecting the null hypothesis when the p value reach some small limit (5% to be common)? What is the link of trusting the null hypothesis with getting some really rare samples?
    And i think you done a great job addressing this stuck point in understanding the p value. Great job. Keep it up!

    Cool! I don't know much about stats, but the convention I think that is most conservative would be to choose a threshold; if doing a 2-tail test divide threshold by 2 and apply to both sides of the PDF, if doing 1-tail test, divide threshold by 2 still, and use half on one side... this is the most conservative way of doing it I guess... if I didn't divide by 2 in either case of a 2-tail or 1-tail test it would be less conservative with respect to the hypothesis.... but it means the 1tails are more conservative than the 2tails... I'm babbling.... Thanks for the video!
