Product Description
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.

another great math tutor dvd September 24, 2009
paul jordan (los angeles)
I have purchased a number of dvds in this series and they are all very good. The philosophy of the series is to focus on problems, not theory, but this dvd does an exceptionally good job of providing a theoretical framework as well as problem strategies. highly recommended for introduction or review
Excellent Introductory Course Supplement / Review September 17, 2009
C
As with all of the mathtutor DVDs I've viewed (geometry through calculus 3), this DVD set is a guy standing in front of a white board working problems and explaining the solutions step-by-step. No gimmicks, nothing fancy, but effective at communicating the central ideas of a course of study. This DVD set is probably best used as a supplement to an introductory probability and statistics course or for a quick review prior to beginning a calculus-based probability and statistics course. Assumes knowledge of high school algebra and counting principles. As a fan of these products, I hope that an advanced, calculus-based probability and statistics DVD set is also in the works.
 Very Basic Statistics May 5, 2009

Bought for my daughter, this DVD was too basic for her Social Work Statistics Course.
Excellent introduction and review of things long forgotten. December 12, 2008

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.
Invaluable resource for anyone in a Statistics course September 25, 2008

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.
