Probability and statistics on Khan Academy: We dare you to go through a day in which you never consider or use probability. Did you check the weather forecast? Busted! Did you decide to go through the drive through lane vs walk in? Busted again! We are constantly creating hypotheses, making predictions, testing, and analyzing. Our lives are full of probabilities! Statistics is related to probability because much of the data we use when determining probable outcomes comes from our understanding of statistics. In these tutorials, we will cover a range of topics, some which include: independent events, dependent probability, combinatorics, hypothesis testing, descriptive statistics, random variables, probability distributions, regression, and inferential statistics. So buckle up and hop on for a wild ride. We bet you're going to be challenged AND love it!
About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.
For free. For everyone. Forever. #YouCanLearnAnything

this tutorial is more like a tutorial on how to use excel

7:42 This right here is an extrapolation

This didn't really teach me how to fit a line to data... more of just learning to use Excel. I barely learned anything, but hopefully the upcoming videos on the course I'm learning on prove to be more useful.

+Loreen Greyson Start with basic instruction. I encourage my students to go back to a point where they were lost and start there.

Thank you for the time you take making these videos, been watching them for a while, very very interesting. Your very cativating... Cheers

[@robertjones1704]

Cavitating or captivating? I think the latter.

[@briananthisdotcom]

This is Amazing!

please teach how to fit line using gradient descent

[@quosswimblik4489]

You can fit data to lots of little connected lines and curve the graph.
Here's some Mathematica code that shows how.
Plot[Piecewise[{{((0.5 - x)/
0.5) (x/2) + (x/0.5) (0.25 + (x - 0.5) 1.1),
x 0.5 && x 0.75}}] , {x,
0, 1}]
Has anyone got a suggestion of a name for this type of curve as it is currently unnamed and I have no doubt it could prove useful for curve fitting and in 3d with more connected lines the same principle remains for turning a triangle mesh into a curved surface so this type of maths will almost certainly be used in the future? If this type of curve becomes popular your name for it might stick so go on have a go and lets see what sticks. also in terms of data fitting this type of curve can be more straight where it needs to be and more curved where it needs to be also as to get a better general fit to some data types.

Spreadsheet usage is essential in the marketplace. Please learn to use the software.

[@literallydeadpool]

thanks for the excel tutorial!

[@SilentSherlock666]

Minimize square of distance

[@han5emn00r]

Good job^^ Keep it up

[@Lena4peace]

can we have help on how to do this on numbers for mac???

[@Vvranaa]

But say he computer doesn't just give you the equation...so how do you find the equation of the line by hand?

[@sergey_zatsepin]

How did you move these columns(N,O) with your keyboard ?
