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.

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.
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.
VERY GOOD!! I have just completed Jason Gibson's "Probability and Statistics Tutor." I found it just GREAT!! Very good teaching and explanations. It really puts things into perspective for me. I can't wait until his "Advanced Probability and Statistics Tutor II" comes out later this year, and will keep out an eye for other classes he produces in the future. Stefan
Everything Jason Gibson touches turns to gold. I mean, "A's." Gold "A's." I have several sets of his DVD's, and I've gotten EXTREMELY high marks in my college algebra courses. I had a 98%+ for the courses! I've not taken Prob & Stats yet, but I have no fear. I recommend his DVD's to all of my friends. His website has free clips, if you want to try before you buy.
omg. the best. Jason is just soooo cool. He has perfect instincts for what he is doing. I think he is an engineer by trade, if i am not mistaken, which is maybe why he knows exactly what to emphasize. It is such a pleasure watching him work. He is unassuming, and has a deep understanding of his subject. You HAVE to admire his audacity. Just him, a few particularly squeeky dry erase markers, and a white board. No editing majic, no bumper music, no distractions. It is a close as you can get to having a live tutoring session. I will watch, with great pleasure, every dvd he produces. Other dvds, I watch most all of them, you might get one or two gems if you are lucky. Jasons lessons are a string of pearls. He is tireless, consistent, very personable. Highest recommendations.
