Stats

wow, I’ve never realized statistics would be so much interesting than what I expected before. since my stats prof would go over chapter 4 today which is about probability, I planned to kind of read through the chapter last night, but instead of that I opened the link that the prof provided as an additional sources for fun. the link brought me to Youtube where there was this video introducing “the Monty Hall problem”. This Monty Hall problem is based on a game show and the strategy behind this game could be reasoned by statistics. I had no idea that we could use statistics to win a game. that is so cool. from this video, there is another link to another video that explains statistics behind the “21″ movie, the MIT blackjack team movie. I’ve seen that movie before, but I again didn’t realize they also touched up on statistics which is the Monty hall problem.
definitely after watching these videos, I am more interested in learning statistics.. yay..
