But what is the Central Limit Theorem?3Blue1BrownI've watched the Central Limit Theorem video. And so I suggested by getting item 2, or not getting neither of the items, many times, your actual chances of getting item 1 increases over time, since the probability of a random set over multiple cycles is supposed to form a bell curve shape, and so getting only one of the outcomes multiple times would yield for there to be sets of data for the other outcomes too.

MINI-LESSON 1: Breaking down intuitively the concept of standard deviation. Why pple don't get it.N N Taleb's Probability QuestionsIn this video Nassim Taleb mentions that σ/MAD=sqrt(π/2) for Gaussian distributions. I have absolutely no idea why this is, but it reminds me of the quote "Where there is pi, there is a (hidden) circle". The fact that pi shows up here seems so surprising and simply begs to be explained.

Mathematical statistics lectures (Reddit-described playlist)I am not a math major so no idea about what's undergrad and what's grad level. My undergrad was in EE where there was just one course called 'probability, random variables and stochastic processes 'where they tried to cram everything into one semester course which did not help at all. Lately, I have been studying mathematical statistics from Hogg and McKean's textbook and I am working through chapter 8. I refer to videos every now and then. There are a ton of playlists on YouTube like the following

The Central Limit Theorem Clearly Explained!Normalized NerdPosted to r/learnmachinelearning: Central Limit Theorem Explained...
Good first picks here, chosen by the list’s editor because they build ideas up from the basics, are But what is the Central Limit Theorem? (31 min), Reinventing Entropy | Compression is Intelligence Part 1 (32 min) and Bayes theorem, the geometry of changing beliefs (15 min).
Yes. 5 run under 15 minutes, including MINI-LESSON 1: Breaking down intuitively the concept of standard deviation. Why pple don't get it. (10 min) and Why “probability of 0” does not mean “impossible” | Probabilities of probabilities, part 2 (10 min).
2 entries are full course, lecture or playlist, such as Introduction to Probability Theory and Mathematical statistics lectures (Reddit-described playlist).
Most came up in r/3Blue1Brown (6), r/math (2) and r/statistics (2). A mention can be a recommendation, a question or an argument, and each video’s page says which it was.
