Statistics 101: Uniform Probability Distributions

Statistics 101: Uniform Probability Distributions
In this video, we learn about discrete and continuous probability distributions. Several examples are provided and the concept of continuous data towards the end of the video leads us into exploring the normal distribution in future videos. Enjoy!

    You're great. I'm studying at one of the top universities worldwide and I got nothing close to this out of the lecturers. That's what happens, they are too snobby to teach properly.

    Oh thank you Artian! Sorry your experiences are poor at your university. In defense of your lecturers, good teaching is not always valued over the research function and is rewarded accordingly. So they can be in a tough position. But anyway I am very glad you find the videos helpful and I look forward to making more for you! All the best, B.

    Hello and thank you for the question! The easy truth is that the "12" is built in to the uniform distribution variance formula. It is a given. I'm sure I could reverse engineer the derivation somehow but for now I will enjoy the rare occasion in statistics when something us just given to us. :) All the best, B.

    Thank you sooooo much! I am taking online statistics and I am in week 4. This is the first week I had trouble understanding, and my book was no help. You are awesome! Please keep providing this service. My College Math professor was like you and that's how I got an A. She broke everything down and was an amazing professor. You're an amazing teacher also, so thank you again.

    Brandon,thanks for doing this video. I was grinding out the calculations without any clarity and no enjoyment, but after watching your video on the uniform probability destination, I came away with,at least an inkling, for what a powerful conceptual tool, it could be. Now instead of arbitrary, the normalcdf function on my calculator actually seems pretty cool !

So we are saying that ratio of line 1 and line 2 is the same as the ratio of the area of rectangle A and rectangle B. Will be great if you can confirm. Thanks
