This is the total variation y. Makes sense, if you divide this by n, you actually will get the, I should say this is the total variation in y, if you divide this by n, you're going to get what we typically associate as the variance of y, which is kind of the average square distance. Now we have the total square distanc... | R-squared or coefficient of determination Regression Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
So what we want to do is how much of this, how much of the total variation y is described by the variation in x? So maybe we can think of it this way, so our denominator, we want what percentage of the total variation in y? So let me write it this way. Let me call this as the squared error from the average. Let me call... | R-squared or coefficient of determination Regression Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Let me call this as the squared error from the average. Let me call this, this is equal to the squared error, maybe I'll call this the squared error from the mean of y.

So if you want to know what percentage of the total variation is not described by the regression line, you would just say, this is the total, it would just be the squared error, the squared error of the line, because this is the total variation not described by the regression line, divided by the total variation. So le... | R-squared or coefficient of determination Regression Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Regression, by the regression line. So to answer our question, what percentage is described by the variation, well, the rest of it has to be described by the variation in x. Because our question is, what percentage of the total variation is described by the variation in x? This is the percentage that is not described. ... | R-squared or coefficient of determination Regression Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
This is the percentage that is not described. So if this number right here, if this number is, I don't know, 30%, if 30% of the variation in y is not described by the line, then the remainder will be described by the line. So we can essentially just subtract this from 1. So if we take 1 minus the squared error between ... | R-squared or coefficient of determination Regression Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
So if we take 1 minus the squared error between our data points and the line, over the squared error between the data points, between the y's and the mean y, we have, we now have a percentage, this actually tells us what percentage of total variation, total variation, is described by the line. Is described, is describe... | R-squared or coefficient of determination Regression Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
And this number right here, this is called the coefficient of determination. This is called the coefficient of determination. It's just what statisticians have decided to name it. Coefficient, coefficient of determination. Of determination. Determination. And it's also called r squared. | R-squared or coefficient of determination Regression Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Coefficient, coefficient of determination. Of determination. Determination. And it's also called r squared. You might have even heard that term when people talk about regression.

It means that these errors, it means that ... | R-squared or coefficient of determination Regression Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
If the standard, if the squared error of the line, if the squared error is really small, if the squared error is really small, what does that mean? It means that these errors, it means that these errors right over here are really small, are really small, which means that the line is a really good fit. Which means that ... | R-squared or coefficient of determination Regression Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
So if the, let me write it over here. If the squared error of the line is small, is small, it tells us that the line is a good fit. Line is a good, it tells us it's a good fit. Now, what would happen over here? Well, if this number is really small, this is going to be a very small fraction over here. One minus a very s... | R-squared or coefficient of determination Regression Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Now, what would happen over here? Well, if this number is really small, this is going to be a very small fraction over here. One minus a very small fraction is going to be a pretty large, it's going to be a number close to one. So then, so then we're going to have our r squared will be close, close to one, which tells ... | R-squared or coefficient of determination Regression Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
So then, so then we're going to have our r squared will be close, close to one, which tells us that a lot of the variation in y is described by the variation in x, which makes sense because the line is a good fit. You take the opposite case. If the squared error of the line is huge, if this number over here is huge, if... | R-squared or coefficient of determination Regression Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
And so if this number is huge, then this number over here is going to be huge. One minus, or it's going to be a percentage close to one, and one minus that is going to be close to zero.

But he only has enough money to buy at most four packs. Suppose that each pack has probability 0.2 of containing the card Hugo is hoping for. Let the random variable X be the number of packs of cards Hugo buys. Here is the probability distribution for X. So it looks like there is a 0.2 probability that he buys one pack... | Probability with discrete random variable example Random variables AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Here is the probability distribution for X. So it looks like there is a 0.2 probability that he buys one pack, and that makes sense because that first pack, there is a 0.2 probability that it contains his favorite player's card. And if it does, at that point, he'll just stop. He won't buy any more packs. Now what about... | Probability with discrete random variable example Random variables AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
He won't buy any more packs. Now what about the probability that he buys two packs? Well, over here, they give it a 0.16, and that makes sense. There is a 0.8 probability that he does not get the card he wants on the first one, and then there's another 0.2 that he gets it on the second one. So 0.8 times 0.2 does indeed... | Probability with discrete random variable example Random variables AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
There is a 0.8 probability that he does not get the card he wants on the first one, and then there's another 0.2 that he gets it on the second one. So 0.8 times 0.2 does indeed equal 0.16. But they're not asking us to calculate that. They give it to us. Then the probability that he gets three packs is 0.128, and then t... | Probability with discrete random variable example Random variables AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
They give it to us. Then the probability that he gets three packs is 0.128, and then they've left blank the probability that he gets four packs. But this is the entire discrete probability distribution because Hugo has to stop at four. Even if he doesn't get the card he wants at four on the fourth pack, he's just going... | Probability with discrete random variable example Random variables AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Even if he doesn't get the card he wants at four on the fourth pack, he's just going to stop over there. So we could actually figure out this question mark by just realizing that these four probabilities have to add up to one. But let's just first answer the question. Find the indicated probability. What is the probabi... | Probability with discrete random variable example Random variables AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Find the indicated probability. What is the probability that X is greater than or equal to two? What is the probability? Remember, X is the number of packs of cards Hugo buys.

And so what is thei... | Probability with discrete random variable example Random variables AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Probability that our discrete random variable X is greater than or equal to two. Well, that's these three scenarios right over here. And so what is their combined probability? Well, you might want to say, hey, we need to figure out what the probability of getting exactly four packs are. But we have to remember that the... | Probability with discrete random variable example Random variables AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Well, you might want to say, hey, we need to figure out what the probability of getting exactly four packs are. But we have to remember that these all add up to 100%. And so this right over here is 0.2. And so this is 0.2, the other three combined have to add up to 0.8. 0.8 plus 0.2 is one, or 100%. So just like that, ... | Probability with discrete random variable example Random variables AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
And so this is 0.2, the other three combined have to add up to 0.8. 0.8 plus 0.2 is one, or 100%. So just like that, we know that this is 0.8. If for kicks, we wanted to figure out this question mark right over here, we could just say that, look, have to add up to one. So we could say the probability of exactly four is... | Probability with discrete random variable example Random variables AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
If for kicks, we wanted to figure out this question mark right over here, we could just say that, look, have to add up to one. So we could say the probability of exactly four is going to be equal to one minus 0.2 minus 0.16 minus 0.128. I get one minus 0.2 minus 0.16 minus 0.128 is equal to 0.512, is equal to 0.512. 0.... | Probability with discrete random variable example Random variables AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
0.512. You might immediately say, wait, wait, this seems like a very high probability. There's more than a 50% chance that he buys four packs. And you have to remember, he has to stop at four. Even if on the fourth, he doesn't get the card he wants, he still has to stop there. So there's a high probability that that's ... | Probability with discrete random variable example Random variables AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
We have a whole video on it on Khan Academy, but it is an average measure of your blood sugar over roughly a three-month period. So that's the explanatory variable, whether or not you're taking the pill, and the response variable is, well, what does it do to your hemoglobin A1c? We constructed a somewhat classic experi... | Matched pairs experiment design Study design AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
And to ensure that one group or the other, or I guess both of them, don't end up with an imbalance of, in the case of the last video, an imbalance of men or women, we did what we call block design, where we took our 100 people, and we just happened to have 60 women and 40 men, and we said, okay, well, let's split the 6... | Matched pairs experiment design Study design AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Now, this was a pretty good, and it's a bit of a classic experimental design. We would also do it so that the patients don't know which one they're getting, placebo or the actual treatment, so it's a blind experiment. And it would probably be good if even the nurses or the doctors who are administering the pills, who a... | Matched pairs experiment design Study design AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
But this doesn't mean that it's a perfect experiment, and there seldom is a perfect experiment, and that's why it should be able to be replicated. Other people should try to prove the same thing, maybe in different ways. But even the way that we designed it, there's still a possibility that there are some lurking varia... | Matched pairs experiment design Study design AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Maybe, you know, we took care to make sure that our distribution of men and women was roughly even across both of these groups, but maybe by, through that random sampling, we got a disproportionate number of young people in the treatment group, and maybe young people responded better to taking a pill. Maybe it changes ... | Matched pairs experiment design Study design AP Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Let's say we define the random variable capital X as the number of heads we get after three flips of a fair coin. So given that definition of a random variable, what we're going to try to do in this video is think about the probability distribution. So what's the probability of the different possible outcomes or the di... | Constructing a probability distribution for random variable Khan Academy.mp3 |
And we'll plot them to see how that distribution is spread out amongst those possible outcomes.

You could get heads, tails, heads... | Constructing a probability distribution for random variable Khan Academy.mp3 |
Heads, heads, heads. You could get heads, heads, tails. You could get heads, tails, heads. You could get heads, tails, tails. You could have tails, heads, head. You could have tails, head, tails.

Well, let'... | Constructing a probability distribution for random variable Khan Academy.mp3 |
So that's going to be 1 over 8. What's the probability that our random variable capital X is equal to 1? Well, let's see. Which of these outcomes gets us exactly one head? We have this one right over here. We have that one right over there. We have this one right over there. | Constructing a probability distribution for random variable Khan Academy.mp3 |
Which of these outcomes gets us exactly one head? We have this one right over here. We have that one right over there. We have this one right over there. And I think that's all of them. So three out of the eight equally likely outcomes get us to one head, which is the same thing as saying that our random variable equal... | Constructing a probability distribution for random variable Khan Academy.mp3 |
We have this one right over there. And I think that's all of them. So three out of the eight equally likely outcomes get us to one head, which is the same thing as saying that our random variable equals 1. So this has a 3 8's probability. Now, what's the probability? I think you're maybe getting the hang for it at this... | Constructing a probability distribution for random variable Khan Academy.mp3 |
So this has a 3 8's probability. Now, what's the probability? I think you're maybe getting the hang for it at this point. What's the probability that our random variable X is going to be equal to 2?

And this outcome would make our random variable... | Constructing a probability distribution for random variable Khan Academy.mp3 |
This outcome would get our random variable to be equal to 2. And this outcome would make our random variable equal to 2. And this is three out of the eight equally likely outcomes.

This is a fourth. That's a fourth. That's not quite a fourth. This is a fourth right over here. And then we can do it in terms of eighths. So that's a pretty good rough approximation.

And then the probability that X equals 3, well, that's 1 eighth. So it's going to be the same height as this thing right over here. So actually, I'm using the wrong color. So it's going to look like this. It's going to look like this. And actually, let me just write this a little bit neater. I can move that 3. | Constructing a probability distribution for random variable Khan Academy.mp3 |
So it's going to look like this. It's going to look like this. And actually, let me just write this a little bit neater. I can move that 3. So cut and paste.

In the next, you found three, five, seven, two, nine, 11, and seven. So this is a sample just to make sure we're visualizing it right. If this is a population of all of the chunks, these little cubic, I guess if we view this as a cubic inch, the cubic inch chunks in my entire watermelon farm, I'm sampling a very small ... | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
So I'm sampling a very small sample. Maybe I could have had a million over here. A million chunks of watermelon could have been produced from my farm, but I'm only sampling. So capital N would be 1 million, lowercase n is equal to 8. And once again, you might want to have more samples, but this will make our math easy.... | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
So capital N would be 1 million, lowercase n is equal to 8. And once again, you might want to have more samples, but this will make our math easy. Now, let's think about what statistics we can measure. Well, the first one that we often do is a measure of central tendency, and that's the arithmetic mean.

Well, the first one that we often do is a measure of central tendency, and that's the arithmetic mean. But here, we were trying to estimate the population mean by coming up with the sample mean.

Well, all we have to do is add up these points, add up these measurements, and then d... | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Well, all we have to do is add up these points, add up these measurements, and then divide by the number of measurements we have. So let's get our calculator out for that. Actually, maybe I don't need my calculator. Let's see. So 4 plus 3 is 7. 7 plus 5 is 12. 12 plus 7 is 19. | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Let's see. So 4 plus 3 is 7. 7 plus 5 is 12. 12 plus 7 is 19. 19 plus 2 is 21. Plus 9 is 30. Plus 11 is 41. | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
12 plus 7 is 19. 19 plus 2 is 21. Plus 9 is 30. Plus 11 is 41. Plus 7 is 48. So I'm going to get 48 over 8 data points. So this worked out quite well. | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Plus 11 is 41. Plus 7 is 48. So I'm going to get 48 over 8 data points. So this worked out quite well. 48 divided by 8 is equal to 6. So our sample mean is 6. It's our estimate of what the population mean might be. | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
So this worked out quite well. 48 divided by 8 is equal to 6. So our sample mean is 6. It's our estimate of what the population mean might be.

It's our estimate of what the population mean might be. But we also want to think about how much in our population, we want to estimate how much in our population, how much spread is there? How much do our measurements vary from this mean? So there we say, well, we can try to estimate the population variance by calcula... | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
So there we say, well, we can try to estimate the population variance by calculating the sample variance. And we're going to calculate the unbiased sample variance. Hopefully we're fairly convinced at this point why we divide by n minus 1. So we're going to calculate the unbiased sample variance. And if we do that, wha... | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
So we're going to calculate the unbiased sample variance. And if we do that, what do we get? Well, it's just going to be four minus 6 squared plus 3 minus 6 squared plus 5 minus 6 squared plus 7 minus 6 squared plus 2 minus 6 squared plus 9 minus 6 squared plus 11 minus 6 squared plus 7 minus 6 squared, All of that div... | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Remember, we want the unbiased sample variance. We're going to divide it by 8 minus 1. So we're going to divide by 7. And so this is going to be equal to, let me give myself a little bit more real estate, the unbiased sample variance. And I could even denote it by this to make it clear that we're dividing by lowercase ... | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
And so this is going to be equal to, let me give myself a little bit more real estate, the unbiased sample variance. And I could even denote it by this to make it clear that we're dividing by lowercase n minus 1 is going to be equal to, let's see, 4 minus 6 is negative 2. That squared is positive 4. So I did that one. ... | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
So I did that one. 3 minus 6 is negative 3. That squared is going to be 9. 5 minus 6 squared is 1 squared, which is 1. 7 minus 6 is, once again, 1 squared, which is 1. 2 minus 6, negative 4 squared. Negative 4 squared is 16. | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
5 minus 6 squared is 1 squared, which is 1. 7 minus 6 is, once again, 1 squared, which is 1. 2 minus 6, negative 4 squared. Negative 4 squared is 16. 9 minus 6 squared, well, that's going to be 9. 11 minus 6 squared, that is 25. And then finally, 7 minus 6 squared, that's another 1. | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Negative 4 squared is 16. 9 minus 6 squared, well, that's going to be 9. 11 minus 6 squared, that is 25. And then finally, 7 minus 6 squared, that's another 1. And we're going to divide it by 7. Now let's see if we can add this up in our heads. 4 plus 9 is 13. | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
And then finally, 7 minus 6 squared, that's another 1. And we're going to divide it by 7. Now let's see if we can add this up in our heads. 4 plus 9 is 13. Plus 1 is 14, 15, 31, 40, 65, 66. So this is going to be equal to 66 over 7. And we could either divide. | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
4 plus 9 is 13. Plus 1 is 14, 15, 31, 40, 65, 66. So this is going to be equal to 66 over 7. And we could either divide. That's 9 and 3 sevenths. We could write that as 9 and 3 sevenths. Or if we want to write that as a decimal, I can just take 66. | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
And we could either divide. That's 9 and 3 sevenths. We could write that as 9 and 3 sevenths. Or if we want to write that as a decimal, I can just take 66. 66 divided by 7 gives us 9 point, I'll just round it. So it's approximately 9.43. So this is approximately 9.43. | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
Or if we want to write that as a decimal, I can just take 66. 66 divided by 7 gives us 9 point, I'll just round it. So it's approximately 9.43. So this is approximately 9.43. Now that gave us our unbiased sample variance. Well, how could we calculate a sample standard deviation?

We want to somehow get at an estimate of what the population standard deviation might be. Well, the logic should, I guess, is reasonable to say, well, this is our unbiased sample variance. It's our best estimate of what the true population variance is. When we think about population parameters to get the population sta... | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
When we think about population parameters to get the population standard deviation, we just take the square root of the population variance. So if we want to get an estimate of the sample standard deviation, why don't we just take the square root of the unbiased sample variance? So that's what we'll do. So we'll define... | Sample standard deviation and bias Probability and Statistics Khan Academy.mp3 |
So we'll define it that way. We'll call the sample standard deviation, we're going to define it to be equal to the square root of the unbiased sample variance. So it's going to be the square root of this quantity. And we could take our calculator out. It's going to be the square root of what I just typed in.
