The Joy of Stats

Documentary which takes viewers on a rollercoaster ride through the wonderful world of statistics to explore the remarkable power they have to change our understanding of the world, presented by superstar boffin Professor Hans Rosling, whose eye-opening, mind-expanding and funny online lectures have made him an international internet legend.

the world we live in is a wash with data

that comes pouring in from everywhere around us

on is own this data is just noise and confusion

to make sense of data

to find the meaning in this

we need a powerful brunch of science STATISTICS

believe me thats nothing boring about
statistics , especially not today when we

can make the data

seen

with statistics we can really make
sense of the world

and there is more

with statistics that data deluge as it
been called , is leading us to an ever

greater understanding

of life on Earth and the Universe beyond

and thanks to the incredible power
of today's computers it may

fundamentally transformed the process of
scientific discovery

I kid you not

statistics is now the sexiest subject
around

Sztokholm, Szwecja

did you know that there is a one million boats in
Sweden

thats one boat per nine people

is the highest number of boats per person in Europe

Sweden also has .. the most McDonalds per person in Europe

..... the most computers per person in Europe

.. the most nuclear reactor per person in Europe

being a statistician you dont like telling
your profession at dinner parties

but really

statistician shouldn't be shy becouse
everyone wants to understand whats going on

and statystics

gives us a perspective on the world we
live in that we cant get in any other way

the average person spends 24 years of their life asleep

statistics tells us whether the things we think

and believe are actually true

most men think theyre better drivers than women

but they have almost double the fatal accidens per mile driven

a statystics are far more useful

than we usually like to admit

in the last recession I was listen this
famous calling to a talk-radiostation

the man complain

in times like this when unemployment raised up to a thirteen percent and income

is fallen by five percent
and suicide raised up climbing

I get so angry that the government
is wasting money on things like

connection of statystics

Im not officially a statystician

strictly speaking my field is global
health

but i got really obsessed with stats
when I realized how much people in

Sweden just don't know about the
rest of the world

I started in our medical university Karolinska Instytut
an undergraduate

course called global health

these students coming to our section at
the highest grade you can get in the

swedish college system so i thought
maybe they know everything i'm going to

teach them about

so I did the pretest

when they came and one of the question

from which I learned a lot was this one: which country has the highest child

mortality of this five pairs

I wont put you at the test here
but is Turkey which is highest, there Poland

Russia,Pakistan and South Africa

and these were the results of the
swedish students

one point eight right answer
of the five possible

that means that there was a place for a
professor of international health

and for my course

but one late night when I was compiling
the report I really realised

my discovery , I have shown that swedish top
students know statisticaly

significantly less about the world than
the chimpanzees

because the chimpanzee would score

half right, if I gave them two bananas
which Sri Lanka or Turkey

would be right half of the cases

but the students are not that. I did also
an unethical study of the

professors of the Karolinska Instytut

that hands of Nobel Prize in
medicine and they are on par with the

chimpanzee there

today there's more information
accessible than ever before

and I work with my team at the Gapminder Fundation
using new tools

that help everyone make sense of the
changing world

we draw all the masses of data thats now
freely available from international

institutions like the UN and the World Bank

and its become my mission to share
the insights from this data

with anyone who listen

and to reveal

how statistics is nothing to be frighten

Im going to provide you a view

of the global health situation

across mankind

and Im going to do that

in a hopefully enjoyable way
so relax

so we did this software which displaced it like this

every bubble here is a country

this is China

this is India

the size of the bubble is the population and

I done the stage of race here

between the sort of yellowish Ford here

and the red Toyota down there

and the brownish Volvo

the Toyota has a very bad start down here, and US Ford is going offroad

back, and the Volvo is doing quite fine

this is the war, the Toyota got off tracking out to our best country

coming on to a healthier side of Sweden

thats it why I sold the Volvo and both the Toyota

china phil donahue

diners covered in this endeavor more
student central planning and they were

at

united states

or they broke my frame

it makes life interesting

when we come to the usa_

leaders in

cars

there are many here who shared my vision

public dave accessible in use

part everyone

the city of san francisco

is in the league

opening upbeat state government every

even the police department is releasing
olympics crime reports

is sufficient crime

turned into a wonderfully attractive man
by two of the city's computer whizzes

it's communities that these pics
connection

crime's going as a matter of

crime reports from the san francisco
police department

uh... showing young dot sohn maps uh...
for citizens to be able to see patterns

of crime around their neighborhoods in
san francisco

the map is not just about individual
crimes but about broader patterns the

show you where crime is clustered

around the city which areas of high
crimes which a resume relatively low

crime

me

dates

don't

here at the top of

jones street

nob hill

quite nice neighborhood

put the crime maps jealous is the
relationship between

topography attempt to crime

this was a higher up the helpful s
progress

to the flats

especially as soon as you get into that

hello rely areas to demonstrate the
prime just to skyrocket

we're hearing

uh... uptown tenderloin district

is one of the oldest condenses
neighborhoods in san francisco

this is where you go to buy drugs

right around here

dissociate lots of uh... aggravated
assaults lots a lot of thefts

basically they're huge part of the car
that happens in the

city happens just by two just viruses
moderates

k

can you

diffused beam him please sirens in your
neighborhood you can use them and to

find out why

if you are denied in an unfamiliar part
of town deconcini and that was streets

to avoid

if the neighbor gets bergen and you can
see isn't the one off why has there been

a spike in logan crime

you can use their neighborhood and a
word about its safety

the fact that we have the ability to
turn off all the nighttime in the middle

of the day crimes and show you just the
things that are happening during the

commute

is a statistical operation

but i think to people that are
interacting with the thing it feels very

much more like they're just sort of
browsing the website or shopping on

amazon there their looking at data and
they don't realize they're doing

statistics

what's most exciting for me

is that public statistics is making
citizen

powerful

and the authorities moral compass

we have community meetings typically use
a tent

and what citizens are now doing are
bringing printouts of the maps which

show where crimes are taking place and
they're demanding services from the

police department and the police
department is now having to change how

they police

how they provide policing services

highs and the date is showing what is
working and what isn't

people in san francisco roadster using
public data to max social inequalities

and see how to improve society

possibilities parts and

i think ur dream

government data analysis project would
really be focused on life information on

stuff that was being reported and pushed
out of the world over the internet as it

was happening you know trash pickups
traffic accidents pluses

through the kind of staffs gathering
power of the internet it's possible to

really begin to see that the workings of
the city's displayed as a unified in

advance

that's why we are heading

towards the world on fri data for the
former statistical insights that come

of the pioneers of statistically

my favorite is florence unlike

tire they're not many people don't
realize it actually she was there was a

passion statistician

and not just of a vehicle out

she said that understand god's thoughts
we must study statistics but these are

the measure of his purpose

it's just it's less river villages

flashes nine-years-old she started
collecting data heard it was different

immediately fifties florence nightingale

went to the crime he had to cancel

there were many many more soldiers dying

it was over she persuaded the government
to set up a royal commission of inquiry

and gathered her dating devastating

this amended took place in the

tables in tables and figures are you've

you're actually dedicated statisticians
will be quite difficult spot the patents

quite naturally

but an visualizations

they tell a story to tell a story

and now it is of course we can make

craigslist data from various news

sources in trade the star graham

we see numbers visualize like this

the start of a different kind of

uh... because of see patterns you see
the scale of them

here at the corner this little square
thirty seven billion

i was the cost projected cost iraq war
in two thousand three

as you can see it's grown exponentially

of the last few years

so the total cost house around about

two thousand five hundred billion

it's funny 'cause when you visualize two
sticks on this you understand them when

you understand them

you can really start puts things into
perspective

we should learn stations right at the
heart of my own walked to

i teach global health

and i know having the data is not enough

i have to show it in ways people both
enjoy and i understand

i'm going to try something i've never
done before animating the dating really

stinks

with a bit of technical assistance from
the crew

so here we go

first taxes for help

life expectancy

from twenty-five years seventy-five
years and out here access for work

income per person

four hundred

four thousand and forty thousand dollars

so down here

and sick

and cop here is rich and health

i want to show the world two hundred
years ago

in eighteen ten

here come all the countries

you know ground station away hideously

acrobats tells us army or and the
american deal

and the soyuz over the country bubble
soulless eyes of the population

and eighteen ten it is pretty crowded
down there wasn't it congress were

sickened pork life expectancy will be
lost

in oregon please everyting you kate and
then the lance was like it better off

not much

and now

wise dot the world

industrial revolution makes companies in
europe and elsewhere

move away from the rest

apologize countries in asia and africa
best backed down there

and eventually the western countries get
healthier and healthier

and now we slow down to show the impact
on the first world war and the spanish

flu epidemic

what does it

and now i speed up through the nineteen
twenties and the nineteen thirties and

in spite of the great depression was to
come visit for john doe was greater

wealth and helped and some others try to
follow but most interesting down here

up often the tragedies of the second
world war we stop a bit to look at the

world in nineteen forty eight

nineteen forty eight was a great year

the war was over

sweden topped the metal table at the
winter olympics and i was born

buffet differences

between the congress of the world was
wider than ever

united states was in the frog japan was
catching up

brazil is way behind iran was getting a
little richard from lloyd but still had

short life

and dictation giants

china india pakistan bangladesh in
indonesia and they were still poor

instinct on here

but he'll play is about to happen

gila delegate

in my lifetime former colonies gained
independence and then finally they

starting to get healthier and healthy it
and healthier and in the nineteen

seventies

then countries indication that the
american student of catch up with the

western countries the meeting with me

emerging economies sunny method of
follows some african rostock in civil

war and i was hit by a charity and now
we can see the wall today in the most

up-to-date statistics

most people today in the mid

but then you should get friends at the
same time between them

best of congress and the worst of cuts

and i will say

lives in the qualities with the income

these problems shel country average s
but i just think that

they china i can split it into provinces

bearing goes shanghai

it is the same boat as it related and a
interpol reliant on those white show it

is like pakistan

any text picket fence

the rural parts are like calling africa

and yet

despite the enormous disparities to date
we have seen two hundred years of

remarkable progress

that's a huge historical gap between the
west and the rest is not closed eight

we have become an entirely new
converging world

and i see it clearly friend into the
future we can you need to treat a green

technology and bs its full impossible
that everyone can make it to the healthy

wealthy corner

wenjie dot c

for the last few minutes is a story of
two hundred congress

showing over two hundred years and
beyond

it involve plotting on

one hundred and twenty thousand numbers

pretty neat

so

with statistics we can begin to see
things as they really are

from tables update dental and reduce
these tributions and issuing this

nation's statistics gives us a clear
description of the world

athletes distinctly cannot only
discovered much is happening

bottles explore why by using the
powerful analytical method correlation

just looking at one thing at the time is
intended for

you've got to look at the relationships
between finance has a chance to have a

very together

in that sport correlation is a pack and
that's why i stopped trying to

understand to crysis is that they're
really going on in the world in society

most of us today would recognize that
crying correlates to poverty

that infection correlates to poor
sanitation

and that knowledge of statistics
correlates to being great at balancing

relations can be very pretty

i got a joke about silly correlations

that was that the american i was afraid
of a heart attack

and he found out that the japanese

the marriage of fat

action this heart attacks than the
american

but on the other hand

also follow up with a friend

eat as much practically americans and
they want to know why

also and less artifacts

this next round of the lead
groundbreaking coronation

is the link that was established in the
nineteen fifties between smoking and

lung cancer

notlong after the second world war

a british doctors reach abroad

investigated lung cancer patient in
twenty long on hospitals

and he became system that the only thing
they have in common with smoking

so certain

she stopped smoking inside

on the page

runs social

moderates a discussion of the early days
just

linking smoking to lung cancer
simplicial smoking shortly that thing

that we've come about life's account be
bad for you

maybe it's jeans

maybe people would genetically
predisposed to get lung cancer are also

genetically predisposed to smoke

maybe it's not the smoking maybe its air
pollution

that smokers are somehow more exposed to
air pollution non-smokers

maybe it's not

smoking maybe it's public

so now we've got three alternate
explanations apart from chance

parties coronation

digging flight cause-and-effect returned
on created the biggest existed to study

of smoking thing

he began cracking the life some forty
thousand british dot

some of whom smoke and some of whom did

and get this enough data to acquire
anything in mind

if the doctor smoke within likelihood of
getting cancer

eventually he not only showed a
correlation between smoking and lung

cancer platforms to a correlation
between stopping smoking and reducing

the risk

this messiahs at its best

what correlations do not replace

he's human sort

good think about what it means

knew what a good scientist has if he
comes up with the correlation

ease

try as hard as she or he possibly can to
disprove it

to break it down to get rid of it

to try and refute it

and if it was stones all those efforts

demolishing it and it's still standing
out

then cautiously say weary might have

the good news is that the more we had
the more correlations will find the more

theories will test

and the more discoveries that we are
likely to make

and history shows park total sum of the
information bruising usually keeps as we

develop new technologies

the mention of the printing press kicked
off the first day an information

then starting in the nineteenth century

they came a second information
revolution

with the telegraph gramophone and can
later

radio and tv

to obtain long-term information exploded

them by the nineteen fifties the
information available to us all

had multiplied six thousand pints

stepping down to more than what is it
that way

back in the world

here to tell all this data into print

it would make ninety stacks of both

sandy treat you from here and all the
way you do this

dazed and then you just answering

with today's computers and statistics
i'm confident we can handle it

when it comes to on the date on the
internet powerhouse of statistical

analysis is the silicon valley giant

the average person over their lifetime
is exposed to about a hundred million

words conversation so if you multiply
that by the six billion people on the

finally every document webpage in image
they can find

fagan hunt for patents and correlations
in all this date dot doing statistics on

them that sixty

and for me

will be has one project that the
particular excite statistical language

translation

who wanted to provide access to all the
winds information matter what languages

there's just so much information on the
internet you can help

to translate it all bike and into every
possible language we figured we'd have

to be able to do machine translation

in the past program has tried to teach
their computers to free speech language

as the system dramatically lose

much like the women which is much more
difficult

his feet in front

because no one set the rules to cash in
online which informix subtlety in

ambiguity

having eaten hot lunch

because depart

well that's all this weekend correct

written like that it would imply that
the coach has eaten lunch

it will be far letters

having eating my lunch

we departed in the collection

those rules are helpful

and they are are useful most the time
but they don't turn out that the true

all the time ten the insight using
statistical machine translation

is saying wealthy gotta have all these
exceptions anyways maybe you can get by

without having its wheels maybe he can
treat everything as an exception nasa

says we want to

but the computer is doing when when he's
learning how to translate is too low

in correlations between boats and
correlations between phrases so we'd be

we feed this system very large amounts
of data

and then the system is seeing that uh...
certain good research the phrase

correlates very often to the other
language

websites

parents office translation between in
your fifty seven different languages

it does this purely a statistically
having correlated the huge collection of

multilingual texans

the people to build the system don't
need to know chinese in order to the

chinese strings just a little beaten
noah rebekah but the expertise that's

needed is basically knowledge of
statistics knowledge of computer science

that knowledge of infrastructure to bolt
those very large computational systems

that we are building for doing that

but if they succeed with what's next
that'll be a remarkable

one other exciting possibilities is
combining machine translation technology

with the speech recognition technology

now both of these are statistical in
nature them

machine translation relies on the
statistics

of mapping from one language to another

personally speech recognition relies on
the statistics of matt mapping from a

sound form to the words

when we put them together

now we have the capability of having
instant conversation between two people

that don't speak a common lecture that
uh... i can talk to you in my language

you hear me in your language and you can
answer back and in real time you can

make that translation

can bring to get people together and
allow them to speak

the intimate is just one how many
technologies

created together massive amounts of data

scientists studying our send our

our plans

all around us are sensors continuously

astronomers on our interesting man in

all these new delhi

because he's a very big place things got
billions of stars in it

and so to put together a coherent
picture of the whole galaxy requires

cutting enormous amount of data

and before you could you afford sky
survey with sensitive diesel detectors

that meant that you could matt many many
stars all once is very difficult to

build up enough data on the for the past

in the past launch surveys of the night
sky had to be done by exposing thousands

of large photographic dates

off these thirties scoop takes twenty
five years or more to compete

then in the nineteen nineties came

the slow in the sky survey is the
world's biggest yes

using a massive digital sensor mounted

it stand the sky indictments tonight
forty two years

building up a complicit picture in
unprecedented resolutions

sort of some of the best steepest survey
data that we have in stock

those on our own galaxy anand until he
sees further away from us

school the slow moving test is on the
internet

and we did astronomers have identifying
millions of users to unknown stars and

galaxies

you want to call on the fifteenth of
these

for statistical actions which we proved
disprove or even suggested new theories

so we have decided it galaxies grounding
becomes florence county cities like the

one we live in a teammate

uh... not all at once we're not smoothly

incorporating beasley cannibalizing

then they become part of under the

is a startling idea and you still need

groups of stars that came from

because they move acted different

each day despite

error that tell-tale patterns she's
looking for

the evidence is accumulating

uh... this really is how galaxies girl

and so this is an important part of of
understanding how galaxies form not only

are posted every gals

more database the more discoveries can
be made

and the technology is getting better all

the next big survey telescope starts at

now computers are generating literally

so is exciting times in terms of the
science in terms of that

computations

and in terms of the statistics

now we thought that sounds a bit
abstract inferior to continue

how about one final frontier

good statistics even make sense of your
feelings

in california

wariness one computer scientist is
harvesting the internet to try to do you

find the patterns alvaro innermost
thoughts and emotions

well this is the madness with madison

represents a skyscraper views the world

each of these brightly colored dots

is an individual feelings

expressed by someone out there

blog artery

and when you click on a diet explodes

to have revealed the underlying feelings
doctors

this is what people say they're feeling

batter

well

so every minute we feel fine calls the
world's blogs

case all the sentences that start with
the words aren't feeling feel

interest them in the database

we collect all the feelings

and week at the most common

they're better

the same

lecture

sorry

and we can take a look at anyone feeling
in analyzing

right now a lot of people are feeling
happy

we can take a look at all the people who
are happy

and breakdown by age gender or location

says bloggers have public profiles we
have that information and so we can ask

questions like

are women happier than men

isn't happy with that the united states

we find that as people get older

make you happier

and moreover we find that

for younger people

this as the happiness

more with exciting

and as people get water

this essay happiness more peaceful

and we also find that women feel love
tomorrow

also more guilty

moments could more often than women

about someone

as people even more and more of their
lives on line

really behind digital traces

and with these digital traces

became deeply into the statistic
re-energize

what it means to be sure

so where does all of this leave office

we generate i mean mention of the
quantities of data about everything you

can think of

analyzing to review the at it's

amount

not only expert but all of us

understand the stories in the mail

instead of being led astray by prejudice
with statistics at our fingertips

alliance can be opened for a fact based
you whatever

more than every before we can become all
sorts of are all the best it's pretty

exciting isn't it

stay here
