Simpson's Paradox

YouTube description:

This video is about Simpson's paradox, a statistical paradox and ecological fallacy where seemingly contradictory results are implied by a single set of data depending on how it's grouped. The paradox can arise in medical studies, student test scores, and so on.

Wait -- he's saying it's a given that if you're black or Hispanic then it's factually automatic that you are socio-economically disadvantaged?

"We thought that state's kids were all doing better in school, but then we found out not all of them were white, so obviously that can't be the case."

Huh?

I've always thought the Simpson's Paradox was how a comedy show could still be profitable after it ran out of original ideas and stopped being funny.
