How chance affects our lives way more than you think - The mathematics of randomness

The video explores the concept of randomness through various examples, such as coin flips, sports, and standardized tests. It explains how humans often misinterpret randomness, expecting uniformity instead of clusters. The video delves into probability using Pascal's Triangle and discusses the Poisson distribution to analyze real-world events like crime rates. It also introduces changepoint detection to identify significant changes beyond normal fluctuations, emphasizing the role of randomness in our lives.
