"Whatever your passion is, Statistics are involved."


Yes! That is the problem!

The most important part of statistics is determining if you are being presented with truthful information.

I love statistics. I am a double major in Statistics and Economics; I'm almost a final year student. Where are the stats lovers? I love Roger Penn.

Who else is here watching this for homeschool

I like that you showed a lot of women in the video, too. I teach Psychology to undergraduates, and over 70% of my students are female (if not more). As you probably know, in the U.S., we tend to discourage women from pursuing STEM educations (though this is changing very slowly). I think videos like this can help reverse that long-standing trend, though. I will definitely be showing this to my future students before I introduce them to descriptive statistics (a topic I try to get students interested in, but it's hard to convey how awesome stats can be to freshman undergrads, especially when the real power of stats lies in the inferential methods).

Statistics isn't just about data analysis or numbers; it is about understanding the world around us.

I'm a first year student doing my Honours in Stats. Wow! That felt good💛🤗
I'm struggling with my three math modules(basic math, analytic geometry, matrices&complex numbers) though.

This video REALLY reminds me of Hour of Code. It doesn't hurt to say that computer programming and statistics overlap OFTEN! (I mean, for Gods sakes I heard "data and information" towards the end of the video, which is what a computer program alters, )

Statistics directly impacts the world nowadays.
