In this video, you will learn how to develop a good research topic.

When they’re used well, graphs can help us intuitively grasp complex data. But as visual software has enabled more usage of graphs throughout all media, it has also made them easier to use in a careless or dishonest way — and as it turns out, there are plenty of ways graphs can mislead and outright manipulate. Lea Gaslowitz shares some things to look out for.

A brief tutorial on creating and delivering informative speeches. Topics include who is giving informative speeches, topics for informative speeches, and organizational patterns commonly used in informative speeches.

Informative speaking is actually the most common type of speech people are asked to give. An informative speech is one where you objectively present information. You’re not trying to change anyone’s mind...although you can ethically share your opinions when appropriate.

An informative speech is about an object, person, event, process, concept or idea. It’s a speech where you not only define the topic for the audience, but you fully explore it so they are informed.

Sal shows examples of intersection and union of sets and introduces some set notation.

Deviance is any behavior that violates cultural norms. Norms are social expectations that guide human behavior. Deviance is often divided into two types of deviant activities. The first, crime is the violation of formally enacted laws and is referred to as formal deviance. Examples of formal deviance would include: robbery, theft, rape, murder, and assault, just to name a few. The second type of deviant behavior refers to violations of informal social norms, norms that have not been codified into law, and is referred to as informal deviance. Examples of informal deviance might include: picking one's nose, belching loudly (in some cultures), or standing too close to another unnecessarily (again, in some cultures).

Summary
Introductory Statistics follows scope and sequence requirements of a one-semester introduction to statistics course and is geared toward students majoring in fields other than math or engineering. The text assumes some knowledge of intermediate algebra and focuses on statistics application over theory. Introductory Statistics includes innovative practical applications that make the text relevant and accessible, as well as collaborative exercises, technology integration problems, and statistics labs.

1.1 Definitions of Statistics, Probability, and Key Terms

The mathematical theory of statistics is easier to learn when you know the language. This module presents important terms that will be used throughout the text.

We've learned about matrix addition, matrix subtraction, matrix multiplication. So you might be wondering, is there the equivalent of matrix division? And before we get into that, let me introduce some concepts to you. And then we'll see that there is something that maybe isn't exactly division, but it's analogous to it.

Sal checks whether the commutative property applies for matrix multiplication. In other words, he checks whether for any two matrices A and B, A*B=B*A (the answer is NO, by the way). Created by Sal Khan.
