Venn diagrams and the addition rule for probability

Probability and statistics on Khan Academy: We dare you to go through a day in which you never consider or use probability. Did you check the weather forecast? Busted! Did you decide to go through the drive through lane vs walk in? Busted again! We are constantly creating hypotheses, making predictions, testing, and analyzing. Our lives are full of probabilities! Statistics is related to probability because much of the data we use when determining probable outcomes comes from our understanding of statistics. In these tutorials, we will cover a range of topics, some which include: independent events, dependent probability, combinatorics, hypothesis testing, descriptive statistics, random variables, probability distributions, regression, and inferential statistics. So buckle up and hop on for a wild ride. We bet you're going to be challenged AND love it!

About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps.

I love how this took my 1 hour and 20 minute class and compressed it into an easier to understand 10 minute video.

[nobex]

My teacher just teaches us like boom! Then u plus the boom! Bcs it has a boom! And then done! Then he tells us there's gonna be a test tomorrow and leaves the class. I need a teacher like u in ma school.

Just want to say how thankful I am for these videos! They help me so much in understanding SO many different math topics! Great instructor and lessons! The different colors and repetition of phrases help a lot too! :)

i realize from watching these videos that im not dumb lol this stuff is so simple. im not good at memorizing really but apparently i do remember examples, images and color. thats probably why i highlight entire pages lol

[pattgardens]

Wonderful explanation! as a visual learner I found this example so helpful!

[andrewbennett]

I remember taking this my junior year of high school, now that I'm a junior in college and my major is business management, I got to take a business statistics course. I'm watching this to refresh the old memories.

This video is awesome and just watching how simple you took away a lot of my anxiety. I love how you don't overword things. Thanks

[proudindian]

Thanks a lot, it becomes easy to understand concepts from your videos

[geniusavage]

Thanks a lot sir. I did Biostatistics in my bachelors degree then i was much more younger and presumably I use to understand all of this. but that's ten years back: now i am in graduate medical school and my Medical Biostatistics teacher made everything so complex, However with your explanation everything is beginning to click again. God bless your sir.

[shaniquewright]

I actually get it now....should have watched this before doing my quiz

[zouraizkhan]

my teacher explained this perfectly but missed out on the part explaining with set diagrams. thank yu for explaining it

[francesmarquez]

It just clicked 😭 God bless this page. Online classes try to simplify things and all they do if confuse people 🥺 thank yoooou!

[yourboyfrannsayshi]

thank you so much!! I am a huge visual learner, helped me so much!!

[MrRushSkies]

8:12 Please don't let me keep hanging.
8:19 Sigh, Perfection.

[SameerJoshi]

How beautifully it has been simplified..!!? Amazing.

[kaitlynncurry]

I'm in a masters level stats class atm and this video helped simplify a question I was struggling on for like two days. I really liked the visuals and I ended up using the same concepts to solve a hw problem. Thank you for this! I'll be saving it for future use as well.
