"Regression toward the mean" sounds a lot more sophisticated than it actually is... to use more simple language, regression toward the mean is an important term in the world of statistics because it describes situation in which something or someone performed better than usual and ultimately returns to "average" or "normal" :) This video represents more than just a definition of the (in)famous regression to the mean. I did my best to also properly explain the regression to the mean concept through examples from day-to-day life. As you'll be able to find out, regression to the mean is even an occurrence in the life of a basketball coach and through this video's conversation between that coach and his statistician friend, I genuinely hope I've managed to make everything very simple to understand. Whether you say regression to the mean or just return to average/normal... you're basically describing something that happens ALL the time in real life!
