Downhill Race Performance Analysis

The video tutorial introduces statistics through a skiing competition between Ted and Ivica. It explains how to calculate Z-scores to compare their performances in downhill and slalomi races. Ted's and Ivica's times are analyzed, and their Z-scores are calculated to determine who performs better in each race. The tutorial concludes with a comparison of their overall performances, awarding Ivica the gold medal. The video ends with a promotion for Brilliant, emphasizing hands-on learning.
