Simpson's Paradox

Thanks to brilliant.org/minutephysics for sponsoring this video!

This video is about Simpson's paradox, a statistical paradox and ecological fallacy where seemingly contradictory results are implied by a single set of data depending on how it's grouped. The paradox can arise in medical studies, student test scores, and so on.
