A simple problem, but well explained. It would be even better if you could explain in more detail what went wrong with the first approach, and why the second approach is better.
Short but sweet. I could imagine giving this to my students as a supplementary approach to the way I’d usually be tempted to discuss it in my classes, which would would be via a probability tree (with a Bayesian twist). Nice work, Mr. Blue.
Fun problem, well explained!
Very clearly explained, made the question very clear in the beginning with a surprising answer for students, but a clear explanation and visualization why this answer is correct.
Nice puzzle related to probability. This could easily be used in a statistics or probability class.
Nice pacing
A very classic and quick exercise, well supported by the animation. In the video, you could have expanded a bit and explored the theory in more depth (see probability tree). A summary diagram could also be useful for beginner students.
This topic has been explained and understood well by every student of probability, and going by the guidelines — nothing is new in the video.
Even for a someone new to this topic, the video could be better with a little bit of simulation or could’ve introduced the mathematical formula for conditional probability, so that people could extrapolate the specific example shown in the video and apply in real world problems.
I like having a question that learning is based off of. It defines a good reason to learn the material and then explains relevant information. This video would be useful in a classroom setting to introduce the topics presented.
It did a good job of getting straight to the point and explaining things in a very simple way with minimal required bg knowledge. There were times at which the motivation may come off as a bit unclear however.
For future content the visuals may need to be a point of focus. Handwritten visuals can be good but cleanness can also help.
