hope those that disliked this video are not human. This is one of the best tutorial videos i have ever seen in my life.

1 hour before my exam and this man is always here to save my ass

[henokgebeyehu]

Thank you for the explanation. These are mostly just bookmarks that I am using for myself as I am preparing for a final exam in a month and really want to make sure that I have all of the resources needed when I am to hardcore study.


8:38 If MGF is known, then in some cases, computing expected value/second moment/third moment can become easier than using the standard definition of expected value. Do this by deriving and evaluating with t = 0.


11:04 Can use taylor series expansion to represent the MGF


14:30 Example: Find the expected value of Y = g(x) when the MGF of x is given.

you explain this very well. only if my teacher would have done the same thing, so i wouldnt have to teach myself via youtube. if im not learning stuff in class but i am learning here, the teacher is to be blamed. and why am i paying so much in tuition for some incompetent teacher at university?

[tshepisotsotetsi]

The way you have you change the MGF of X to MGF of Y is very Neat! I was confused at first as to how it would be done.

Fantastic video! much better for learning and understanding than my actual lectures!

[jackdog]

thank you for all the vids, going in a month to take the exam p. These vids are for sure a great refresher

[enigma]

This guy is damn good explaining topics my professor of 30 years cannot do

ok.... this was very helpfull... thanks sir... love from india

[pjk]

certains parts of this vid makes so much more sense, and then your video helped click some things looking at my prof notes of a review practice problems

[stephaniestoudenmire]

Thank you so much for your videos you are so helpful and watching gets me excited about stats. I would jump for joy if you came out with some videos with practice problems 

[syedahmedali]

thankyou so much the lecture is astounding...

[bygrace]

This is great!!! I'll recommend it to my fellow comrades.

[pauljohncapote]

Now is 2020. This really helps me in my Probability Theory. Thanks

[monikamittalmm]

Your explanation is very good. I watch your videos.
Thanks a lot

[expotechservices]

Great videos. Clearly explained. I have subscribed to your channel. Please make videos of hypothesis testing, estimation theory, multivariate analysis, time series analysis, analysis of sample surveys & stochastic processes. Thank you.

[firdovsihasanzada]

Thanks! I got some basic understandings of this topic in my head.

[sumanyousingh]

Very simple explanation 👌👍
Love from India ❤️❤️

Why didn't we have to take the derivative of the MGF before plugging in ln(.5)?

[lesegomokgabudi]

Thanks Sir.... may God bless you and your family
