Seems like I have a lot of posts today, sorry about that. Nice format. In Russian. Surdin (an astronomer) and Semikhatov (a physicist) are quizzing the guest (in this case, Severinov) on his topic. Since both are educated, the level of questioning is generally pretty good (with rare exceptions).
The first two-thirds are filled with a lot of interesting stuff from Severinov (mostly high school level, but still). In the last third, Semikhatov jumps in with quantum theory and totally outshines Severinov.
Listening to the rest of it now. They’re discussing Student’s t-test – it’s about statistical significance. Just a brief mention, no big deal. I decide to check out some details on Wikipedia and find something amusing:
“…This test was developed by William Gosset to assess the quality of beer at the Guinness company. Due to confidentiality obligations (the Guinness management considered the use of statistical methods a trade secret), Gosset’s article was published in 1908 in the journal ‘Biometrika’ under the pseudonym ‘Student’.“
