The Probability and Statistics Tutor is a 10 hour video course that teaches the student how to tackle probability and statistics through fully worked example problems. Most students have problems with probability because almost every problem is a word problem. This requires the student to read the problem and truly comprehend exactly what is being asked before any solution can be attempted. In addition to this, the concepts in probability are usually completely foreign to the students as they begin class. The result is that students usually have an uneasy feeling when beginning to study probability. This DVD is guaranteed to improve your understanding is essential for any student taking Probability and Statistics at the high school or university level. This DVD set is very comprehensive at 10 hours long so you can be assured that the topics are covered in detail. All topics are taught by fully worked example problems which helps the student improve problem solving skills immediately. This DVD set also serves as a reference as students work homework problems - offering practical advice every step of the way.

Excellent introduction and review of things long forgotten.
I have not taken any probability or statistics since my grad school days back in the late sixties and early seventies. So last month I bought an introductory statistics text. For some reason I just could not get much out of the textbook so I went ahead and purchased this DVD set.I have several of Jason's DVD sets and this one did not disappoint. Pretty soon the cobwebs began to clear. As usual the style and content of this DVD is perfect for someone just being introduced to the subject and for guys like myself who have forgotten most of the stuff. Note that the material covered here is an introduction so don't expect detail stuff on regression etc. As always I appreciate the simplicity of the presentation without any boring music or poor jokes and other bells and whistles.A great set and for the material presented a true bargain - the cost was significantly less than the textbook I purchased.

Probably would have been good, if my son would have used it.
Seemed like a good idea, but my son never used it.

Exactly what I was looking for
I am studying for the Certified Quality Engineer exam, which is heavy on statistics. I am taking a refresher course to help but it assumes I already know this stuff. I was getting behind in class so I ordered this course along with a couple of others that weren't much help.*THIS GUY IS A SPECTACULAR TEACHER*He has obviously been teaching this stuff for a long time, knows which areas give people trouble, and spends extra time on those areas. Sure, if you already know how to average numbers, you don't need to see it done step by step again, but most of the material is new to me and I appreciate the way he hammers each point home. Plus, each DVD is split into sections, so you can skip the sections you already know and replay the ones you need more practice on. I highly recommend this.

Hard to watch
This was painful to watch and some of the time his back was to the camera.

This made my Ph.D. Possible!
Having put Statistics II off until the very last class of my Ph.D. program in Health Psychology, I was concerned when I had no choice, and had to finally take it. It had been 3 years since I had taken Statistics, and didn't do well, when I did, so the thought of taking it up a notch was an issue. Will this teach you everything you need to know? Maybe not; it WILL however, teach you everything you need to know, to have the confidence, and ability, to learn anything else in the area of statistics.This guy is a master at making it simple, and memorable, and you can bet that I'll be buying some of his other DVD's.....not because I really need them, at this point, but because he makes learning that simple.

Solid and effective, but very introductive
This product would deserve a 5-star if only it had just one more disk on correlations, regression, and hypothesis testing. Without that additional disk, it is a VERY GOOD AND NECESSARY product for beginners, but not as useful as it could be for people who want to start applying statistics in their work. What I mean is the following: probability is nice and pretty, and even necessary in sampling etc -- however, it is hardly sufficient, and the little space devoted to statistics here means that these DVDs are only a starting point to loads of additional study.Having said that, the strengths of these DVDs are those of the usual Jason Gibson DVDs: solid stuff, enthusiastically presented, for enduring knowledge. Even if one happens to forget something, it is always a pleasure to go back and watch the relevant section. The presenter has a true gift for communicating concepts he is clear, he uses interesting examples, and he really puts himself in the student's seat to focus on questions and tricks that lead to true knowledge.

Invaluable resource for anyone in a Statistics course
This DVD is a great resource for those of us taking graduate level statistics. If you are not the best at statistics and would like a refresher on the fundamentals, then this is the DVD set for you. Jason does an awesome job of explaining the key concepts and goes through several example problems in each section. For the price, you really can't beat it as you can review a section over and over again until you get it.One word of caution, don't purchase this if you are looking for advanced statistics and probability help. This DVD set does not cover hypothesis testing or point estimates, or linear regressions. According to the website for these DVDs, they are considering a release of an advanced Statistics DVD, but not time frame was given.
