I remember one time in school, the topic of probability came up in our math class. The main example was your chances of winning the lottery, and the teacher was going to go over a big ol' equation for us to find the answer. Before we would learn the equation, however, he wanted us to try and guess what the answer was. My guess was 1 in 250 million, and I remember him being surprised that I was only 5 million off. I never realized how few people understood probability and percentages until a few years later.

The reason why you don't learn probability and statistics in grade and high school is because of the lottery. They donate money to fund schools as long as that isn't in the curriculum. Because then nobody would play the lottery since they'd know the statistical likelihood of actually winning, which is extremely low. About 80c of every dollar spent goes to schools, and the lottery pockets the other 20c. 20% of a multiple hundred million dollar jackpot or even a billion dollar jackpot is a sizeable chunk of change you can almost always count on being a profit.
@Justme203 the only time I ever learned any actual stats in the US is when I took stats I highschool and it isn't required at all and most people don't take it they either don't take a math class senior year or take a Calc class
Everyone knows the probability of winning the lottery. This guy isn't smart at all. He gives off bill Cosby vibes. I won't be surprised if later something bad comes out about him.
@@KidSereneonxbox But it actually is required learning in at least 40 states… If a state uses common core, then probability is required. Still doesn’t stop people from playing the lotto
They're not taught logical fundamentals. A child who's taught to think logically will see through propaganda more easily. We have an extremely ideologically Left educational system. Historically, the far left (Marxists) fractures thinking in education and creates a more compliant thought process, which exists on the surface and has no ability to dig deep and use logic . . . Demoralized and subverted thought.
“Goes to education” Yet teachers and administrators go over a decade without a raise. My wife went 12 yeas without a raise and when she finally got her raise, it put her in a higher tax bracket and she brings home $20 a week less than before the raise. Good times..
Yes, it goes to education. Most of it goes to the administration, not to the kids. That's why when people work in the educational department make big money. It's not about educating kids it's about getting a big pay raise. For the administration department. I'm just saying😮
I was taught probability and statistics in an extra curricular class in school. We learned not to play the lottery and to this day I still have not wasted any money on it. I put my money towards things that have a much higher chance of making me money.
@@cc23001 no but finishing school isn't required either. Don't blame the system because you didn't take it upon yourself to take extra steps to better your own life. Like I said it was an extra class I signed up for because a finance class seems like something worth taking. I went to a poor school too without many options. Schools are providing the tools necessary to succeed but most kids aren't taking advantage of it.
@@welp3764 ok smart guy what is the wrong direction because to my knowledge it's painfully obvious schools provide kids with at least the bare minimum to succeed. I once seen a highschool that had a class where kids were building a house in a giant classroom and learning a trade. Some you can go get started as mechanic. Even if you dont do all that and do the bare minimum in school you learn math, and to read and to write. You wont get a very nice job if you dont have those basic skills. So let's all hear your explanation of why my take is dumb and your take isn't. What is the wrong direction?

@Sushi Addict NDT doesn't seem to me that he talks down to people. I question whether people can really tell the difference between spreading knowledge with energy and talking down. And what is talking down anyway? Where does NDT do it? I think it's an opinion thing
"Pay us money to lose, but if you ever do win were gonna tax half of it anyways, that way we get all the money from the losers and half of the winners"
Is that how it's taxed? In the UK gambling operators pay an additional levy so in a way lottery winnings were already taxed through operators and there is no additional tax to pay of you win.
Two things about Utah one there's no school shootings you know why with a license a teacher is allowed armed concealed and number two there's no lottery in that state so that kind of money does not corrupt educational system you want to gamble you can go to Nevada although I don't think they have a lottery either
They teach probability and advanced probability in Ireland and people still play the lottery. Hell, I understand the odds and still play sometimes because the possibility of winning (even remote) makes me feel good.
Yeah same here. I know all the probability and statistics of it but I still play fairly often. What he's saying would make sense if people were trying to do it for a job or something, but nobody is. Nobody who plays the lottery is thinking "oh I'll make my money back in the long-term" it's just one of those things where I think why not. I got enough money I'm not gonna miss $2 and I have a chance at becoming super rich.
@@Zoroaster4 On a broad scale, people with less education tend to play the lottery more. Probability and statistics classes decrease the likelihood and amount that people will play. For a lot of people, probably most, the lottery is just a fun activity they do every once and a while. But the lottery, just like any form of gambling, has addicts.
@@ultimatedude5686 Perhaps people with less education make less money, therefore more likely to play to solve their financial issues. Plus, those same people who don't play spend their money on 7-dollar coffee and buy alcohol which has zero benefits to your life. It makes more sense to spend that money on a ticket that at least gives you a chance of winning.
pay a few bucks once in a while to dream about it, fine. Regular players though obviously don't understand probability. Gambling in general is mostly the same, house always win's in the end.
@@animefreak5757 I teach stats lol and I play when the jackpot is big because I understand probability. A one in a trillion chance is infinitely better than a probability of zero. Stop acting like you know everything bro.

I took statistics in 88 at junior college and n probability and logic. B UT I don't remember we had lottery I Florida then. I do know they don't allocate the money they said they would cause teachers have to buy supplies for students and for elementary kids to get a especial activity they are asked to sell the 1$ chocolate bars. They are crooks!,
I think you misunderstood what he said. Probability and Statistics and not a required part to include in the math curriculum, that doesn't mean that schools can't choose to include this anyway if they want. The curriculum just states what must be taught, not what can be taught outside of what is mandatory. So you just happen to go to a school that felt that probability and statistics was inportant to include in you education.
My grandpa told me a story about the Ohio State lottery they gave money to the schools but took it off the budget initially so the schools didn't get anymore money
That sounds criminal. We should have well funded schools but they are all absolute shit. This I'm sure is a large reason why. I'm also sure someone is taking lots of that money for themselves before giving it to the schools
@@ah8893 they gave money to the schools (from the lottery) but took education funding down a peg on the state yearly budget. Resulting in the schools getting about the same as before, not extra money
Most people figure that one chance in 100 million is INFINITELY better than zero chance in 100 million….and they’re right! (Mathemagically speaking!) 😂🥴
You forgot your umbrella in a bus on your way home. Lets say there is approx. 5 million people living in your city. Everyones number starts with 4. So, if you decide to type a random number starting with 4 in your phone on a next day, and tried to call a random person asking him if he found an umbrella in a bus yesterday the chance of hitting a right person would be significantly higher, than winning a lottery.
I took stats in college (early 80's)and the lottery was used for problems. If the chances of winning the lottery was 11M to 1, how many tickets must you buy to change it to 5.5M to 1? You better have thousands to have a 5.5M to 1 odds. BTW I did just buy a Mega Millions today, but only only 1.
As a high school math teacher who has taught probability and statistics I remember explicitly saying to my class not to play the lottery or casino games because of the law of large numbers
Except stats also say that at certain jackpot pay outs by odds you SHOULD play because at those point the amount the ticket is worth is more than the cost of the ticket
Yeah, I don't think the math will convince the average person not to play the lottery. Whether it's 1/1,000,000 or 1/10,000,000, people will still hope to be the exception, lol. Every person knows they're the odds are against them, including gamblers.
Education funds are set by budget committees and general funds that would be used to fund the set budget get supplanted not supplemented by the lottery and casino taxes... and mmj

@@Justme-ih9wsStatistics are never taught as part of pre-calculus or Algebra. Please give an example to back up your point.
@Justme203 the only time I ever learned any actual stats in the US is when I took stats I highschool and it isn't required at all and most people don't take it they either don't take a math class senior year or take a Calc class
they dont teach money in school neither.
Everyone knows the probability of winning the lottery. This guy isn't smart at all. He gives off bill Cosby vibes. I won't be surprised if later something bad comes out about him.
I was taught probability in school back in the 90s. But you don’t need to learn probability to know that you’re not going to win the lottery.
Agreed. Not even probability & statistics can help predict those randomized numbers.
Yup I was taught probability in school and I remember my teacher used the lottery as an example
Not with that attitude, you're not.
@Lincoln Ford Human feelings like attitude or arrogance play no factor in a randomized result.
I took a whole class on probability and statistics in high school it was one of my math credits
He's saying it's not required learning like algebra
Great. Armed with that knowledge, I'm assuming that you don't buy lottery tickets.
He didn't say you couldn't take it, he said it's not required which it isnt.
@@CorboWill But it actually is required learning in at least 40 states… If a state uses common core, then probability is required.

As someone who was taught probability statistics, I can attest that nobody paid attention to that shit

Always enjoy NDT ..
“I’m not saying that” “maybe I am saying that” 😂
They're not taught logical fundamentals. A child who's taught to think logically will see through propaganda more easily. We have an extremely ideologically Left educational system. Historically, the far left (Marxists) fractures thinking in education and creates a more compliant thought process, which exists on the surface and has no ability to dig deep and use logic . . . Demoralized and subverted thought.
I know the probability. But I still play occasionally. $2 to win hundreds of millions is worth it to me.
The lottery is not a tax on people who are bad at math. It's a tax on poor people that despite the math have no other option but to hope in vain.
I saw a woman on TV explain why she played the lottery and she said "it's the only chance I have of ever being rich."
That actually made sense to me.
They have OTHER options, because the lottery ISNT an option, it's burning your money
@@jtowensbyiii6018 no, it's not burning money, it's a long odds bet with the odds heavily stacked against you.
It’s how they figure out who was paying attention in math class.
“Goes to education” Yet teachers and administrators go over a decade without a raise. My wife went 12 yeas without a raise and when she finally got her raise, it put her in a higher tax bracket and she brings home $20 a week less than before the raise. Good times..
Yes, it goes to education. Most of it goes to the administration, not to the kids. That's why when people work in the educational department make big money. It's not about educating kids it's about getting a big pay raise. For the administration department. I'm just saying😮

I was taught probability and statistics in an extra curricular class in school. We learned not to play the lottery and to this day I still have not wasted any money on it. I put my money towards things that have a much higher chance of making me money.
But was it required? Kinda proving his point..
@@cc23001 no but finishing school isn't required either. Don't blame the system because you didn't take it upon yourself to take extra steps to better your own life. Like I said it was an extra class I signed up for because a finance class seems like something worth taking. I went to a poor school too without many options. Schools are providing the tools necessary to succeed but most kids aren't taking advantage of it.
@@The0Mann the entire point of high school is to point uninformed minds in the wrong direction. This has got to be one of the most dumb takes
@@welp3764 ok smart guy what is the wrong direction because to my knowledge it's painfully obvious schools provide kids with at least the bare minimum to succeed. I once seen a highschool that had a class where kids were building a house in a giant classroom and learning a trade. Some you can go get started as mechanic. Even if you dont do all that and do the bare minimum in school you learn math, and to read and to write. You wont get a very nice job if you dont have those basic skills. So let's all hear your explanation of why my take is dumb and your take isn't. What is the wrong direction?
This clip makes Neil look like quite a friendly guy. I'm used to seeing him talk down to people.
People accuse me of sometimes talking down to people. But that's not the case, nor is it with Dr. Tyson. We just like to teach and spread knowledge.
@@bigbengamer excuse me, who are you?
@@bigbengamer LOL.... no dramas big Ben. When you're on an international podcast. And you are a respected member of the community, we'll keep that in mind
@@bigbengamer you can spread knowledge or teach but thats completely separate from talking down. This does not go hand in hand
@Sushi Addict NDT doesn't seem to me that he talks down to people. I question whether people can really tell the difference between spreading knowledge with energy and talking down. And what is talking down anyway? Where does NDT do it? I think it's an opinion thing
They teach it in my school
Did y’all not have statistics class?
"Pay us money to lose, but if you ever do win were gonna tax half of it anyways, that way we get all the money from the losers and half of the winners"
Is that how it's taxed? In the UK gambling operators pay an additional levy so in a way lottery winnings were already taxed through operators and there is no additional tax to pay of you win.
Yeah in FL it was supposed to go to the education budget but it became the whole budget
That's what happens in almost every state.
Two things about Utah one there's no school shootings you know why with a license a teacher is allowed armed concealed and number two there's no lottery in that state so that kind of money does not corrupt educational system you want to gamble you can go to Nevada although I don't think they have a lottery either
neil degrasse knows that if no one else plays the lottery his probability too win big is substantially higher
They don’t want kids to know the actual probability of there success
They teach probability and advanced probability in Ireland and people still play the lottery. Hell, I understand the odds and still play sometimes because the possibility of winning (even remote) makes me feel good.
Yeah same here. I know all the probability and statistics of it but I still play fairly often. What he's saying would make sense if people were trying to do it for a job or something, but nobody is. Nobody who plays the lottery is thinking "oh I'll make my money back in the long-term" it's just one of those things where I think why not. I got enough money I'm not gonna miss $2 and I have a chance at becoming super rich.
@@Zoroaster4 On a broad scale, people with less education tend to play the lottery more. Probability and statistics classes decrease the likelihood and amount that people will play. For a lot of people, probably most, the lottery is just a fun activity they do every once and a while. But the lottery, just like any form of gambling, has addicts.
@@ultimatedude5686 Perhaps people with less education make less money, therefore more likely to play to solve their financial issues.
Plus, those same people who don't play spend their money on 7-dollar coffee and buy alcohol which has zero benefits to your life.
It makes more sense to spend that money on a ticket that at least gives you a chance of winning.
pay a few bucks once in a while to dream about it, fine. Regular players though obviously don't understand probability. Gambling in general is mostly the same, house always win's in the end.
@@animefreak5757 I teach stats lol and I play when the jackpot is big because I understand probability. A one in a trillion chance is infinitely better than a probability of zero. Stop acting like you know everything bro.
They taught us probability and told us to play the lottery anyway lmao
What he's saying is the statistics of winning the lottery or like 33 million to one some crazy number like
Most of what you win goes to the Federal government in Taxes.
NDT “I’m not saying that” 👁️👄👁️
Joe “so what are you saying”
NDT “okay, yes I am saying that….”
My high-school probability and stats class is the entire reason why I don't play the lottery lol
I wish this guy and his smug "I'm smarter than you and trying to explain it all to a dumb guy like you in a folksy way and you can't criticize me cause I'm a member of a minority group" would just go away.
People don’t play the lottery cause they think they’re gonna win, they buy it cause for 4 dollars you can have a nice little thrill / thing to look forward to.
Who didn't have a probability and statistics class
It's called the idiot tax.
And public schools make those by the millions.
So what do you call people who buy useless things like alcohol, weed, overpriced coffee, etc.

Total horseshit and you know it. They get less than 2% of what the state lottery makes. It's fucking rediculously obvious
I took statistics in 88 at junior college and n probability and logic. B UT I don't remember we had lottery I Florida then. I do know they don't allocate the money they said they would cause teachers have to buy supplies for students and for elementary kids to get a especial activity they are asked to sell the 1$ chocolate bars. They are crooks!,
We were taught probability, in a public school, in the 90s. And I only took the required math.
I think you misunderstood what he said. Probability and Statistics and not a required part to include in the math curriculum, that doesn't mean that schools can't choose to include this anyway if they want.
The curriculum just states what must be taught, not what can be taught outside of what is mandatory.
So you just happen to go to a school that felt that probability and statistics was inportant to include in you education.

It does not go toward education in any state.. they say it does.
Most of the money DOES NOT go to education , im sure of that
While lottery income is generally sent towards education, it's often accompanied by business tax cuts, meaning *no extra money is sent to education.*
Knowing the odds is one thing but it's that feeling of "but what if it was me"
Yup, I damn well know the odds but when it hits a billion dollars even I'm willing to throw down a couple bucks.
That is already brain washing for future gambling addicts😮❤
People getting brain wash without even knowing😂
Not at all true. My school taught probability like 5 years in a row in math classes.

My grandpa told me a story about the Ohio State lottery they gave money to the schools but took it off the budget initially so the schools didn't get anymore money
What
That sounds criminal. We should have well funded schools but they are all absolute shit. This I'm sure is a large reason why. I'm also sure someone is taking lots of that money for themselves before giving it to the schools
@@ah8893 they gave money to the schools (from the lottery) but took education funding down a peg on the state yearly budget. Resulting in the schools getting about the same as before, not extra money
Most people figure that one chance in 100 million is INFINITELY better than zero chance in 100 million….and they’re right! (Mathemagically speaking!) 😂🥴
You forgot your umbrella in a bus on your way home.
Lets say there is approx. 5 million people living in your city. Everyones number starts with 4.
So, if you decide to type a random number starting with 4 in your phone on a next day, and tried to call a random person asking him if he found an umbrella in a bus yesterday the chance of hitting a right person would be significantly higher, than winning a lottery.
"That's not what I'm saying" "that's what I'm saying"😅
I took stats in college (early 80's)and the lottery was used for problems.
If the chances of winning the lottery was 11M to 1, how many tickets must you buy to change it to 5.5M to 1?
You better have thousands to have a 5.5M to 1 odds.
BTW I did just buy a Mega Millions today, but only only 1.
Neil is a fraud.
Neal can bullshit his way out all day long.
Less than 1% goes in to education. The founder of national public education wanted workers, not thinkers.
As a high school math teacher who has taught probability and statistics I remember explicitly saying to my class not to play the lottery or casino games because of the law of large numbers
The students taking probability and statistics are not the ones who play the lottery....remedial math....there's the ticket.
Money that could be spent on wheed like a real gentleman
Except stats also say that at certain jackpot pay outs by odds you SHOULD play because at those point the amount the ticket is worth is more than the cost of the ticket
When the state offers free school question what they want to teach your kid
We have probability statistics in school and we still use the lottery all the time lol
Yeah, I don't think the math will convince the average person not to play the lottery. Whether it's 1/1,000,000 or 1/10,000,000, people will still hope to be the exception, lol. Every person knows they're the odds are against them, including gamblers.
Education funds are set by budget committees and general funds that would be used to fund the set budget get supplanted not supplemented by the lottery and casino taxes... and mmj
