    You're a wonderful teacher. Covariance and correlation was a mystery to me before. But you not only explain them in a PDF but also compare with a sample, which makes it extra clear to understand. Thank you so much !!!

    Your videos and teaching style are SOOOOO critical. Many of us struggle with the non-intuitive formulas and have given up. This stuff CANNOT be applied to real life if we cannot conceptualize what they really mean at their core and why they were derived in the first place. You are bridging that gap Justin, unlike so many others before you, and I am forever grateful. Thank you.

    Absolutely brilliant presentation! As a (high school/ secondary school) teacher of these topics, I find that you ALWAYS help me clarify my own explanations, making this difficult stuff much easier for students to grasp - I especially agree that overuse of formulae is dangerous: students who overuse formulae without a basic understanding of the processes risk failing to interpret results properly; this problem gets worse NOT better, the more more they do with statistics without such basic understanding! Well done, Justin, and many thanks for all your hard work!

    Here is the gist: Covariance gives you one piece of information. It measures the direction of the two variables (positive or negative) positive (direct relationship) means that when one variable increases the other increases and negative means that when one variable increases the other decreases (inverse relationship), whereas, correlation gives you two pieces of information. It gives you the direction (positive or negative) and the strength of the relationship by being a number between (0 and 1). If two variables have a very strong relationship their coefficient might be .90 and if there is a weak relationship the coefficient might be .20

    Yo. This is what I have been trying to do to gain a better understanding. I would like to see the derivation of all PDFS from scratch . That would be amazing, but it seems like even P.H.D students have a hard time with this for some reason and I havent found it online. Usually the proofs for these things are done through moment generating functions. I believe you would have to start first with chi-quared, then go to something like t because to involves chi-squared.

    You are very good at building intuition, something my university teachers were very lacking. Thank you for this video and your efforts.
    One question that always bugs me and can't really figure it out is that for me it seems like this kind of thing has to do with the order in which you put the values in the table. I'm more concerned with the theoretical model. Like It would gave the same results if you just shuffled the rows around, but then it wouldn't give the intuition (or not as obvious) of seeing how they are negatively correlated. Like I'm thinking let's say we have a two samples x, y, you can order them of course in whatever way you want cause they were generated or measured randomly (eg. asking people in different order). When I'm thinking graphically, I always see putting the x values in ascending order, but how you draw the y values depends on what order you are taking them, right? And in which order you draw them could can cause positive or negative correlation or none as well. I think I'm kind of confused : )
