Professor Michael C. Cranston, thank you for an outstanding Introduction to Probability and Statistics. Probability and Statistics is a different way of thinking from start to finish. Students will have some difficulty with this course . This is an error free video/lecture on YouTube TV with Professor Michael C.Cranston.

The explanation for permutation concept is awesome. it is based on real life scenario to derive the formula.

[r.charantej]

It is 10th class mathematics in India and his teaching is very good

[saubaral]

I find this much more understandable than what mit is offering. Thank you so much!!

[brainstormingsharing]

Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

[MrUsmanmarwat]

Thank you for sharing videos God Bless you

[patrickbama]

I am very interested in data, statistics & probability.

please add cc subtitle to videos... even auto generated subs are good for non English like me

Dr Cranston, I like your teaching style.  BTW - there is NO suit value of the cards when playing poker, i.e. unlike Bridge,  a spade flush has the same value as a club flush, heart, or diamond flush.

It seems there's two different playlists for "Math 131A" both created by UCI Open. Do they both contain the exact same videos?

[ManishKumar-quvp]

Let A and B be two events such that the occurrence of A implies occurrence of B, But notvice-versa, then the correct relation between P(A) and P(B) is?
a)P(A) < P(B)
b)P(B)≥P(A)
c)P(A) = P(B)
d)P(A)≥P(B)

Correct answer of this question ? Please tell

Where are the rest of the lectures from this course?

[runsenliu]

What's the required textbook or reference book?

[angelabakloyvovtchaikovsky]

I was a math major. I did pre law as my career choice. I can volunteer to tutor

[Nargeswrsetling]

is this lecture for industrial engin or civil engin
thanks

I can agree only on the sample space for alpha-particles emmited by an alarm, but the waiting times is far overblown. Waiting times at stop lights are never more than say 10 mins, so NOT +infinity. There must be some definite upper bound. Same goes for waiting times for a bus.

[sahalmuminkhan]

what is the ​textbook for this course?

[ryanjacksonx]

How do we know if two sets are mutually disjoint?

This grading scale is ridiculous. In all of my math classes over the years, I've always had at least 30% of the grade come from chapter tests, in addition to 10% from homework and 10% from quizzes. I've never seen a class with 80% of the grade based on two tests--the midterm and final. Geez.
