What is the CENTRAL LIMIT THEOREM? and why is it so hard to understand??

This video will explain what the heck this thing is.. how it is formed... and why these "sampling distributions" are normalish, even when the population is bimodal

    Thank God for this man. Genius in not only his academic subject, but in his presentation as well. He's accomplished solo in front of a camera what years worth of instructors I've had in classrooms never could. He's inspired me to genuinely care about the material and it's all thanks to that unrelenting enthusiasm. Wish they could all be this good.

There is no need to complain about it or even tell anyone if you like it or not. What you find helpful; others may not. Just like clothing. If a beautiful dress does not fit your body type, it don't make the dress any less beautiful.

    I must say Thanks. Was going through various pdfs and presentations but was unable to visualise the C L theorem. As you summarised "its not about the individual x, but the x bars that we are concerned. So, when you take the X bars of a number of samples and plot them in frequency distribution, we get a normal distribution curve ~N(population mean, population standard deviation/sqrt n)" . The whole CLT becomes lucid with this summarization otherwise its easy to get lost in numerous texts where they straightway dive into formulas without giving you an conceptual understanding.

    Loved this! I've been struggling with this for about 48 hours and this helped a lot. I still need a bit of clarification on how Xbar works though. Is Xbar to samples what mew is to populations? Like for the last few weeks I've been working with z scores, so I get all the z = x - mew / theta, so where around there does the x bar come into play?

    Hey Eric from 2 years ago. You're getting ahead of yourself you sexy beast you. They're used when you don't have the population mean (mew) or standard deviation.

  • @Norrieification

    11 ай бұрын

    Actually, I was mostly right the first time. x-bar is to samples what mew is to populations, (x-bar = sample mean, mew = population mean), so mew = the mean of the piles of x-bar in the video (at 5:55) and I was a little bit right the second time: I was getting ahead of myself. I hadn't had to use x-bars much at that point, but we do use them for calculating ANOVAs and t-tests (and some other statistical tests), and likely I would've learned that just a couple weeks after I posted that first comment saying I was learning how to calculate z-scores. Also, I was right again the second time, you do "use them when you don't have the population mean, or the standard deviation of the population", but that's almost always. Which is why you take a sample, and x-bar is the sample mean.
