why is probability so hard?
Probability often has the feeling of being a completely separate field of math from all others, and something that requires a unique set of skills. But why, and what can we do to make it easier? This video is a broad introduction to basic probability theory ideas with an emphasis on problem-solving strategies.

I learned something in this video, that the birthday problem solution, as it is normally stated, is not technically correct. So that is good. But I found the presentation in this video to be somewhat lacking. It was just a long-ish conversation and the author didn't really use the power of video to help simplify anything for the viewer.

It was a bit verbose, specially for those who has passed a probability course. The month hall explanation was new to me. Liked that part.

The choice of what to put on each slide and when to switch slides made it very easy to follow along.
I would have appreciated a reminder of what the three numbers represented in the Monty Hall problem analysis on the screen at the same time as all the tuples.

Too long exposition. Too philosofical. Start with example, not a general theory. mpre similar to an introductory then to a vidio.

I think the video was very well made, although maybe you could have allowed a few more seconds for the explanation of the monty hall problem to sync in. Otherwise the video was well-paced and understandable. Your explanation of the birthday problem was very nice.

This video is quite well made, and your explanations of them are quite thorough. I thought that some of them explanations were too long, but that could be due to the fact that I knew most of the examples show in the video already. Overall great video!

i get the concepts, but it would be nice to see them in a more visual way!

good intro, but I missed the purpose of doing an error of independance on the birthday case (there are more subtle case causing errors)

I love how you first showed an example of an incorrect intuition as well as clearly explaining why it was incorrect.

i didn't like much the visuals
