    Thanks for doing this. I have one feature request. I do not watch your videos in order. So whenever you say "i've discussed this in another video" it would be nice if you can provide a overlay link.

    As everyone says, your vid is a real help! No annoying professor to make fun of students who can't get it right after explaining it at an ultrasonic speed! I was looking for a video that explains how to choose p* value when choosing the sample size, given the desired margin of error (0.01) and a confidence level of 99% ? ... The formula I'm talking about is : n= (z*/m)^2 (p*)(1-p*)

Does it mean I need to predict x (interest)/ n (sample size)? Thanks... The x = estimated no. of voter vote for A party (can i refer to past studies and make this estimation number)? OR x = number of spoilt questionnaires I would collect from the 200 total questionnaires circulated?

Just one question though, I looked through all the video's in the confidence interval link you've provided, and I wasn't able to find a tutorial on Confidence Coefficients (the strange Z, that looks like a Z score but isn't). I can see you have many great video's but could you tell me which video explains how to calculate Confidence Coefficient, please? Thanks!! Sry I don't have a FB, otherwise I would like ur pg!

    No it is not powerpoint, I use a variety of different software including photoshop, illustrator, HTML5, Final Cut, GarageBand and a few other products. Each video takes me a long time to create. My rule of thumb is each minute of video takes about 12 hours to create, so a 7 minute video takes me about 84 hours of development time.
