    I first heard the term Least Squares during my first internship and hadn't yet started my core coursework in college. I was so clueless I thought my party chief said, "Leaf Squares." I was researching leaf squares on the internet for an hour until he kindly corrected me. Now I can't imagine not using this method in data analysis. Thanks Dave!

    Wonderful videos! Great attitude with the clown shoes! We in Sweden need to pack away the mini bikes as well. Keep the videos coming! It’s hard work to produce short and concise videos but much appreciated! The statistics are so important, but not well explained in many places. This was clear! Thx.

    Thank you for taking the time to comment on the video. I appreciate it. We have several videos ready to post on our regular schedule. I am glad you see the humor the clown shoes and mini-bikes - it makes me laugh and is intended to be a light hearted sign off. Some folks do not see it that way. Dave

    Question, 3:16, why would you not round up for squaring line 9 for 0.07 = 0.0049 = 0.01? Are hundredths and thousandths of a foot only to be rounded for squaring or are we round ten and hundredth thousandths of a foot as well? We may be talking in minimal variance but if we are to measure precision and accuracy in establishing standard deviation, I would like to be as precise and accurate as possible in my calculations for my notes. IMO, of course. Edit: Also understanding this is a demonstration, in which, thank you for your time and explanation!
