    Thanks so much. You saved my statistics course. I found it really better than our lecturer at Imperial. Now I can't believe I paid 30,000 to them.

    hello Dr Nic, i'm very new into your channel, and I just noticed that some of your videos are like 9 years old, but I am very grateful that you are still uploading a lot of knowledges... I want to say thank you for helping all of us to learn statistics. i'm now in an early year of engineering college which is non Math/Statistics major. But i suddenly have interests in AI and Machine Learning, which are out of my faculty scope of curriculum. So i started to self-learn from books, internets, and luckily i found your channel. 😁 (i mean why didn't I find your channel like years ago 😭) I hope i can always enjoy every knowledge from now on, and can build a strong math and statistics fundamentals through your Channel, so I can pursue in AI/ML career. Thank you very much Dr Nic! 😊🙏

    My favorite scene from any if your videos was when you said “In general,” and had a picture of Napoleon (I think). Also, when the question was “Male or Female” and the researcher was yelling at the subject “Make your choice!”

    I know. My son used to edit my videos, or put a final funny touch on them and he has a real talent for it. He makes me laugh out loud at my own videos. I'm not as funny, though I do try to keep a light touch. I'm hoping my clear explanations will keep people coming back.

  • @DrNic

    @DrNic

    3 жыл бұрын

    This is not something I've heard of. For sample standard deviation you use n-1 in the denominator as opposed to the population standard deviation. But for the standard error, it is customary to use s/sqrt n. Perhaps you or the book have those two calculations confused?

  • @renjing

    3 жыл бұрын

    @@DrNic Ah, maybe it was me who got confused. May I check with you: Now after we calculate the sum of squares for the sample, we divide it by by (n-1) instead of by n? (and then take its square to get sample standard deviation) May I ask one more question, please: In this example, do we have to know that the population follows a normal distribution to use the t test, especially when the sample size is small?
