Yeah, okay. We're live. Hey everybody, if you're tuning in live if you're tuning in after the broadcast It's okay. Don't worry about it. Originally. This was going to be a Dedicated pre-recorded video, but you know what? It's Friday as of this post. Let's do a live stream. Why not? Let's keep the tradition going. I guess. Hi, everybody my name is Giovanni, but I'm this from a we can keep them here to talk to you about my Spring 2019 anime review. I did a month and a half ago. I'm gonna say I did my first video on this subject. I went into the Magical world of seasonal anime. I know a lot of people I don't like to keep up with shows because of the commitment of Week to week, but you know, I had the time and I said, you know what screw it. Let's let's Keep up to date with what is happening with all the shows And I sort of went through the stuff that I was watching and my first impressions on it. After that, you know I finished a lot of those books So I'm ready to talk about them just a quick video just a brief Video on the on the shows. So yeah There's no fancy graphics. I have my phone here and you can't see it because it's super bright but I do have a List of all the shows and they are It's a lot one two three four five six seven nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifty six like seventeen different shows So I'm not gonna take too long on every title just some quick impressions last lasting thoughts I guess on these titles if you have a Different opinion, let me know in the comment sections or in the chat or wherever I'm very interested in in your opinion as to what you thought of the shows if you have seen them or not so Yeah, last time I was in the middle of a lot of shows and I was also watching I was also watching some Older stuff older quote-unquote. They're not really that old because Hi, Joe. Hey, buddy. I thank you. This is completely improvised I didn't like I wrote it earlier today on my community tab. This was just a Random idea that came about a few hours ago. So yeah, I don't expect a lot of live viewers tonight But regardless, it's just a quick stream. So don't don't don't worry about it Yeah, so last time I Mentioned that I was watching a couple shows that were a little bit old maybe like a Year or two years old. I don't know You know, there were there were not from the season But I did include them because I was you know, whatever I was watching them. So I Did finish a lot and a lot of these shows the first one that I want to mention is a Frickin attack on Titan man attack on Titan season 3 part 2 is Quite possibly one of my favorite things of the year so far simply because I have managed to avoid all types of spoilers up until now and Wow, okay, like the the the epic scope and nature of the series just expands tenfold when you finally learn Sort of the secrets because you know, there are tons of more information that we're still learning Especially anime viewers. I haven't read the manga But you start learning about these things and they just change the perception and the tone of the whole series and that is the That's the thing. I love most about series like this that rely on its history and world building and all that stuff When you finally have like the truth behind truth the truth It's mind-boggling. It's superb and I I loved it Like it was only 10 or no, it was 12 episodes. I think like six of them or seven were dedicated to the retaking of the wall and Finding the basement and all that stuff and the fights and the characters that die and the action is intense It was like the final third act of an epic movie But just a series and when you do find out what's happening. It is Spectacular I absolutely loved it I'm not gonna spoil anything, but I'm just gonna say it is a game-changer and I want to Revisit the whole thing especially the beginning part of season three because I feel that was very One it was very underrated and and when you do find out what's happening. It becomes Sort of like a half-truth and it's very interesting that also Beginning from season one to see all the changes now that you know the reality of what is out there What the Titans are and what the conflict really is about? So yeah easily I'm I'm gonna say I'm gonna give it a nine out of ten simply because They split season three into two halves and the first half It's it's slow because it Delves into the politics of the world that these characters are inhabiting and it might drag Just a tiny little bit and then you get to the later porch portion and it's just an all-out Fantastic ride action packed and and very somber and pretty interesting Answer to all the questions that we've had so far. So yeah easily season three gets a full Nine out of ten for me. I usually don't review stuff with ratings, but whatever we're doing it now, I guess So yeah, another one that I was and these are no particular order by the way They're just written here on a notepad another one that I was watching was Why the hell are you here teacher? I don't know what can help me Although let's be honest. We do know what compelled me because it is a very not safe for work series and I heard it was very It was a comedy Series and I gotta say the first couple of episodes I'd laughed simply because it was so heavily censored the characters You would have a giant image and I just found that hilarious at times But after like two episodes that bore me to tears and it resulted in me not giving a Crab about the series and it's it's it's no bueno. It's no good. I give it like a Three out of ten simply because of some awkwardness and some really cool Greatly done character designs. That's it for me. I'm sorry. I did not like this whatsoever next up It's still ongoing, but a demon slayer is my second actually, I Think it's my first, but we'll talk about it in a little bit I think it's my favorite also my favorite thing about 2019, but anime wise. I think it's my favorite so far I talked how great it was on the previous video and I'll say it again everything that UFO table is doing is on Point as the kids nowadays saying do they still say that I don't know The action the music this Choreography the CG the the way the characters look and act and behave is Simply amazing and beautiful and just action packed every episode feels like you're watching a movie It ends on a cliffhanger and even though I get annoyed by it It's still awesome and I don't mind because I'm looking forward to that next episode and it delivers and the story Continues progressing at a nice pace. It reminds me of watching like an old sci-fi supernatural samurai flick from I don't know from a couple decades ago something like that It's it's it's awesome And I do still think Tanjiro is the best or is my favorite modern Shonen lead he is just wholesome and badass Next up fruits basket, I've watched I think it's gonna be like 25 episodes this first season We I've seen like 13 of them and it's great. It's a delight It's wholesome and it really does have a lot more emotion I think than the original because the original while it was fun and a classic for a lot of people It was just fine. This one. I enjoy a lot more especially the updated art and of course it Closely follows the manga as well. So that's plus Next up midnight occult civil servants I dropped it completely after like three episodes because I was bored like I said, it was like men in black but with Folklore and and mythology and fairies and all that stuff. It's fine. It's fine But the art I was not a fan of and there was just other shows that were a lot more interesting so I've unfortunately I dropped it and Maybe one day I'll go back and watch the rest, but it's not a high priority on my list Next up isekai quartet It's not as funny as I would have wanted it to be but at the same time it was really fun And I wish other characters in the series could have had the spotlight instead It kept focusing on a particular set of characters and I know yeah It's it's only four series and there's set of MCs or main characters, but still it sort of felt a little bit uneven and And I'm very happy that we're getting a season two I cannot wait if you want to go into it watch the four series because you might be a little bit lost when it comes to Inside jokes and character interactions.  I love the artwork and I love the character designs and and and actually the humor in it Sometimes it's really funny and clever other times is really just So I give it like a yeah, I'm also gonna give it a Between a six and a seven out of ten. I guess it was fine It's also getting a second season I'll probably watch it because the girls were actually pretty interesting interesting and funny, but the main character boy, oh boy Next up Carol and Tuesday I don't want to review it yet because I've only seen the first episode and I'm a little bit behind But it's it's fantastic anything involved at Watanabe It's a highly recommended on my part So I'll move that to my summer reviews later on because I haven't started yet next up Hitori bochi is an amazing Oh, yeah, yeah Joe, sorry about that. I will post this is mostly improvised I will post the list in the description after I'm done. I'm sorry about that I will post the list of all the titles and stuff So don't worry, but also check out the first video because I go into a little bit more of a detail on it and At a slower pace because this is a like a rapid-fire review session So, yeah, I'll do that. Thank you Hitori bochi It's a wholesome slice of life show that just energized me week after week It is beautiful. It is funny cute and the girls in this series are very very Energetic and wholesome and it is a very positive message for kids that are going through social anxiety and nervousness and fear of meeting others and all that stuff So I do Commended on on that for tackling those subjects and and bochi She's just a delight and such a cute character that I cannot recommend it enough if you want a nice funny wholesome slice of life show About a girl trying to work past your fears to become friends with people in high school middle school middle school Give it a shot. Everything about this is really really great. I loved it The ha ha episode was probably my favorite Next up set a sign my This was weird from the start and it was weird all the way up to the end But I loved it I freaking loved it and I love the idea that you took a concept like kappa demons that involve if you know about the kappa folklore and mythology They there's the human body supposedly has like this mystical organ That's way up there Down below in the nether regions so the kappa attack humans so they can take that out So the show Goes into that but it's not graphic or anything It just mostly at the beginning you've laughed because it's so absurd and ridiculous but you keep coming back because of the twist and the Greatly written drama between the characters three boys that are very interconnected their stories relate to each other They are going through some really interesting drama heavy stuff. I'm not gonna spoil all the twists and turns but you know, they they break the kappa lore demon statue thing and the prince shows up and transforms them into little coppers and they are good at getting the Hope dishes. I hope I said that right and that will grant them wishes and They are the kappas are fighting against the otter society because in Japanese folklore, of course They're long rivals the otters and the kappa frog monster thing the jigs So aside from that totally weird premise the series is about connectivity how humans interact with each other from an interpersonal to external relationships with co-workers with friends family loved ones and Just great great written show man. Just one of the best of the season. I absolutely loved it I cannot recommend it enough the premise if you get past the oddity of it. I think you're gonna like it I think you're gonna enjoy this weird yet charming series that just explores a lot of heavy themes in In a very stylized way, so I really do want to give it I'm gonna give it a 9.5 out of 10. I'm taking point five points out Because of Because of the weirdness and I didn't really get the whole otter thing until later on in the series But overall, it's just superb writing in my opinion. I like weird series. I like shows that take risks and and write Compelling stories of up characters regardless of their backgrounds. That's what I like Next up Gabriel dropout. I didn't I didn't actually finish it So eventually I'll talk about it. So yeah, I'll pass on that one. Sorry about that guys I started blend s or blends which is about the maid cafe and the Maids that are themed by character tropes. So I thought that was pretty funny. I Thought it was pretty well Stylized and written it's it's very comedic. It has some etchy humor, but if you can get past that I think You'll enjoy Blend s quintessential quintuplets that was from winter and I totally forgot to watch it So I started watching it not a fan I find most of the characters pretty annoying and the situation is just you can only find that in a show like that I don't know. It's it's I prefer status on my which is really well-written compared to something like Quintessential quintuplets, which is about a tutor tutoring quintuplets and they are Annoying at first eventually, you know, you grow to love them and all that stuff stuff. It's we've seen before in other shows So yeah, I'm gonna give that a I'm gonna give that a What stylistically I want to give it a five out of ten because they're five girls, but I'm whatever just a three out of ten Next up We're what's this? Oh helpful Fox Senko sound like bochi. This was Really good. I loved the character of Senko She is extremely wholesome. The series is a delight. I mentioned in the previous video that I hoped Younger crowds would understand The problem that Japanese society and really world society if you will have with Overworking and being stressed and not finding time for yourself to relax and Sort of be in sync with the world. I guess I don't know So I thought it was really well done the ending That was the only thing I did not like the ending was very predictable as soon as a character Does an action near the end of the series like a couple episodes Towards the finale I knew where it was headed and it played exactly like that and it ended in a very predictable way I would have I would have wanted something completely different I wanted them to explore the relationship between the main character main human and the neighbor and all that stuff That does not happen but instead it's a very wholesome pretty looking show with a positive message and it's very entertaining if you want to relax and Unwind then yeah, go ahead and give it a shot. I give it like a Give it a seven out of ten or six. I don't know. I don't I don't I don't do well with ratings Rising shield hero Rising shield hero was the thing that I was really looking forward to this year We first started watching it in January. I think and then it continued Let me move this cable out of the way Sorry and then it continued up until recently when it ended and it adapted the Manga's which were based off of light novels and it was really superb really great Just fantastic. I think it's a new chapter in the Isekai world and I was not totally on board midways Because of Filo like I know a lot of people like her. I know a lot of people are fans of that character, but I was really When you watch this when you start watching the series it has a very Different tone than everything else that you've seen in the Isekai world genre but once that character shows up they do explore some really tiresome and Tropes that I wasn't necessarily a huge fan of but you know I got over it pretty quickly and it I ended up really liking it really enjoying what they were doing and Obviously it ended on not not a cliffhanger But you know there's more content out there and a season 2 is bound to happen because they didn't adapt the whole story So yeah, I do say like a maybe like an 8 out of 10 simply because it did explore some tropes that Yes, they were fun, but they could have been executed better plus when the main Well the main plot of the series has to deal with the waves when that's over. I thought Not not the waves the main problem is the waves, but there's also a subplot Regarding now foomey and when that gets resolved I thought that was the perfect way to end your first season instead it continued Towards the island stuff Portion of the story which really felt like the beginning of season 2 like I know and plus the season finale It ended really well, but I would have saved that for a season 2 I don't know what you guys think but regardless it's a very fun meme take on the off to another world genre Raftalia is a fascinating cute character now foomey as well. Just the fact that they're a little bit older The humans in the story brings it to a different level than other Isakai shows plus the art was consistent all the way through and it was just a delight to watch the characters Just talking and the fights were good Everything about it was pretty pretty awesome in my opinion So, yeah, what else what else do we got? One more show save the best for the last all right Dororo, I am working on a video essay on Dororo, which will be sort of a review slash Pinion piece on it because I do think it is easily one of the best anime of round I I Genuinely do believe that there are probably some faults to it I will have to examine that a little bit deeper and talk about them in the video more in-depth but for the most part it is a successful reinventing of a beloved classic Tesuka wrote the the story back in 60s and it was animated in 1969 so 50 years later we get sort of a yeah like a reboot It does its own thing by the end sort of it has sort of a different Ending, but the story is gut-wrenching Emotional the fights are just frickin fantastic I love that series so much. It was it was really awesome episode after episode I do know that midway they suffered through budget stuff and You do notice in a couple episodes But still even at its worst it still looks really frickin amazing and the character Interactions the way the story plays out they simplified some elements compared to the old TV show and the manga but the way they went about it was very satisfying and some You know, it's a Tezuka story Tezuka You know, he is the god of manga for a reason, you know, and I think now I want more newer versions of Tezuka Books in anime form. Can we get that please? Yeah My favorite shows so far of 2019 are undoubtedly Doro Then Demon Slayer and then Attack on Titan. Those are my 10 out of 10s or whatever. They're fantastic and I I wholeheartedly Recommend them. I think I think y'all agree with me. Maybe. Yeah, I don't know. So that's it That's my first ever spring review, I guess Spring 2019 anime review. Of course more shows premiered, but I wasn't gonna watch everything. I just focused on those Titles that I mentioned now for summer. I am watching a lot of them more than Spring so it's gonna take a while I'm probably gonna do a mid probably when I hit like 10 or so episodes for each probably do a video or a livestream talking about their shows Dr. Stone and Fire Force and all that stuff I did do a preview on the summer guide if you want to check it out on this channel and Yeah, that's that's about it This was completely improvised and not a lot of people tuned in shout out to my boy Joe Thank you so much. You are awesome for watching and supporting the channel. Thank you For everybody else has watching this pre-recorded.

13 seems like the right number for this product. Hey, stop that. Do you want me to scream? Wow, I wish I had written this book. You could probably read this all in one creepy, long, dark, rainy night. There are fall reads and there are dark reads and then there are dark fall reads. Today I have 13 books for you because 13 seems like the right number for this product. 13 books that I think that both evoke fall and that are kind of dark. First book I have is The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King. This book I have likened before to reading the Farsier trilogy by Robin Hobb. It's not exactly like that. No reader like ever is exactly like that, but there is a cozy medieval castle atmosphere with some young protagonists who are growing up in the castle, which to me does remind me of following Fitz Chivalry as he grows up at Buckkeep. However, it is a Stephen King book and there is a pretty dark sinister villain figure. So the book does, it doesn't get as dark as sort of adult horror of Stephen King. This is a fantasy book, but it does get quite creepy and quite dark, especially as the plot progresses and the villains' motivations become clearer and in general. I think it's a great standalone and really immersive. I guess fun read, fun seems like a weird word to use for any of these books because they are dark, but I had a really good time reading this and I think fall is a great time to read it. Next up I have Rebecca by Daphne de Morier. This book is one of the most atmospheric books that I've ever read in my life. Truly, if you do not like a slower pace book, if you want all plot and action and stuff happening, then maybe don't read Rebecca because Rebecca's darkness, a lot of it comes from how it immerses you in the setting and in the headspace of the main character. You don't have to think about Rebecca. This is about a young woman who has not named Rebecca. She is very young and she marries an older man who's very rich and lives in this huge estate. And he was married once before to a woman named Rebecca. So his ex-wife has sort of left her mark on the house and she, everybody who knows this young woman's husband, everyone who comes to the house, everyone who knows them, knew Rebecca. A lot of the stuff at the house is monogrammed. All of her old possessions are there. The housekeeper keeps referencing Rebecca. Rebecca, Rebecca used to do this. Rebecca used to have this. This is how Rebecca used to do things. So in a non-supernatural sense, nevertheless our main character is very in a real sense haunted by Rebecca. And this book's slow creeping and unfolding of the mystery of who Rebecca was and what happened between her and this young woman's husband when she was alive. It's a slow moving plot, but it is very immersive and dark and very atmospheric. And I think follows a perfect time to read it. Next up I have a fave that appears on all these lists every year and that is The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kristen White. This book definitely, it helps if you've read Frankenstein because it is very, very much in conversation with the original Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I should have probably put Frankenstein on this reading list, but I didn't. So just pretend like this counts for two. If this assumes you've read Frankenstein, if you haven't, well then read Frankenstein and read The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein. This book is one of the best examples of how to do a retelling, how to do a re-imagining, how to recontextualize an existing story, how the idea of taking a story and telling it from a different perspective can actually do more than just be that. The telling the story from the perspective of Elizabeth Levenza was a masterstroke. This is one of the best books I've ever read in my life and the way that it recontextualizes the events of Frankenstein by changing the perspective from which you are told the story is brilliant and it is dark and it is creepy and it is immersive and it is just wonderfully done and it's pretty short. So you could probably read this all in one creepy, long, dark, rainy night. Next up I have Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Lenny Taylor. Now most fall book lists, at least on my channel tend to include The Name of the Wind. This list does not include that because The Name of the Wind is not dark in the way that I mean this list to be. However, it appears by reference because the back of this book was blur by Patrick Rothfuss who says, wow, I wish I had written this book. So Daughter of Smoke and Bone is a difficult book to explain because to tell you what it is about is to give away a major plot twist that happens quite early on in the book. This is the problem with most Lenny Taylor books because she likes to do that. So Daughter of Smoke and Bone at the outset is about a young art student who lives in Prague and the setting of Prague, it's heading into sort of the colder season so it is quite cold, quite chilly. They go to these historic places, they go to historic eateries where they eat goulash. The family of our main character, Karu or at least the people that she lives with are not normal. They are not humans. So the atmosphere of where she lives, who she lives with, the city that she lives in and just who she's surrounded by is a little bit eerie, a little bit creepy, the weather's a bit dark and once the story tells, once you actually get to when the story starts to be the story that it's going to be, it is one of the most immersive reads in my entire life. I felt utterly sucked into the pages of this book and I felt like I had to recover after I had finished reading it. Like I didn't know what to do with myself because I had been living in the pages of this book which I think is a great thing to experience in fall, wrapping up with a blanket and some tea and just getting completely lost in the world of a book. And this is a great choice for that. Next up I have The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman. This book is actually a lot shorter than this copy looks. This is the Illustrated Edition. It is a very short read, you could very easily read it in one evening and one lovely dark fall evening. Ocean at the End of the Lane is a story that follows a main character who he I believe is in his 40s or thereabouts, that he's an adult man. He comes back to the neighborhood in which he spent part of his childhood where he lived because there was a funeral. So he's come, returned to this physical place and when he returns there, suddenly he sort of unlocks memories about what happened to him when he was a child, when he was living there.  What happens to him in this period of his life is quite dark and eerie and spooky and immersive and because it's a very quite rural place that he lives and it has the sort of feeling of being out sort of in the boonies out in the middle of nowhere with darkly sinister things happening. Which to me is exactly the kind of thing that I want to read about in fall. Next up I have Ninth House by Lee Bardugo. This book did take me a minute to get into. Once I did, I did quite enjoy the read. I posted a review quite a while ago where I kind of explained how I thought the book could do a better job of hooking you and it's a missed opportunity in my opinion. But nonetheless, Ninth House is a book about a young woman who goes to Yale. This is not autobiographical but it is inspired by Lee Bardugo's own experiences at Yale. This is how she became to be aware of the secret societies that exist in Yale. So in this book she imagines what if those secret societies had other worldly powers at their disposal. So our main character sees the dead and she's part of the world, this sort of underworld of secret societies of Yale. Yes, my darling? What if you didn't do that? Could you not? Yes, my friend, yes my friend? Hey, stop that. Don't you think it's great? So as I was saying Ninth House follows our main character who is part of the secret societies based on that premise alone. We have an academic setting. We have dark secret societies with other worldly abilities. Our main character sees the dead. I don't think I really need to explain anymore why this is a dark fall read. But I do wanna warn anybody who's thinking of picking this up. This has just about every trigger warning you can imagine, so reader be warned. Next up I have The Atlas Six by Olivia Blake. This is quite on this list for quite similar reasons to Ninth House. This follows a sort of secret society of magic users who are brought into a secret society. Who would you like to get sprayed? This book follows some magic users who are all sort of invited into a secret society. There is a competition mystery element component to this. But it's quite dark, it's quite atmospheric and has a lot more twists and turns than I actually expected it to have. I had quite low expectations actually picking this up. It's quite a high take-talk book and I actually thought it was YA. This is not YA, although it does read a bit like YA. So it might be good to think that it is, but it actually isn't. And I expected it to be quite vapid and just maybe the best you could hope for is some vibes. So going in with that level of expectation I was pleasantly surprised by the sort of depth and nuance to the plot and to the debates and conversations that are introduced by this book to the nesting of the mysteries in this story. I kept thinking that I had figured out where this was going and that I had figured out what the twist is or what the secret is or what it is that we're doing here. And it would kept sort of turning and shifting and revealing new things to me that it kept surprising me for that reason. So I don't think this is like a brilliant book if you go in with really high expectations I'll be disappointed.  So I think this is a good time and I think fall is a perfect time to be reading a book like this. Next up I have The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware. This is a retelling of The Turn of the Screw. I actually don't really like The Turn of the Screw very much. I read it after this and I was like, well, The Turn of the Key was way better. This was my first Ruth Ware book and I thought that the atmosphere in this book was incredible. It had me at the edge of my seat. There aren't really a ton of like super gory or dark things like that, but the moments of tension, I think she does an amazing job of making them feel tense and making you feel like that sensation of like being alone and hearing a noise in the house and it scaring you. Like I think the atmosphere is amazing in this book and the mystery aspect to it also kept me turning the page. I kept wanting to know the answer. So again, fall is a great time to be reading a book like this because it takes place in a beautiful, huge estate in the countryside. So being in this big fancy house where there's a dark sinister mystery, I mean, what's more fall than that? Next up I have The Hazelwood by Melissa Albert. This also usually makes the list when I do fall Halloween spooky books on lists. This book follows our main character whose grandmother wrote a famous or infamous book of fairy tales and that book is basically impossible to find. It has a cult following.  So the girl, our main character has to return to the family estate, to the grandmother's house and to the wood from which these stories sprang in order to get her mother back. It's kind of magical realism. There is a game and ask quality to sort of the dark sinister characters that seem to have come from these stories and how that all unfolds. I think it's very atmospheric and moody and dark and creepy. And there's a forest and there's fairy tales and there's dark magic and things like this. So again, what's more fall than that? Next up, I have The Mary Shelley Club by Goldie Moldovsky. This is a recent addition to the rotation. I read this last year and in the fall, hoping that it would be a fall read and it is. I was warned that this was like really dark and really disgusting and sinister and horrifying. I did not find it to be so, although I mean it is horror, but it's YA. I also found the beginning to be a little sillier, a little more vapid, a little more straightforward, especially because I had been warned that it was so horrifying. I kept waiting to be horrified. And I was like, I mean, it's not nice what's happening, but like, I guess my expectations were too high. It's once whatever. Like I don't feel especially horrified by this or a great amount of suspense or anything like that. I know this sounds like I'm not recommending this book, but hang on. As it went on though, as I sort of was patient with it, it ended up going in directions that I did not expect and it ended up being quite surprising with lots of twists and turns that actually did have me, if not, I wasn't fully horrified the way I expected it to be based on the reaction I'd heard people had to this, but it did have me again at the edge of my seat, it had me gasping and going, oh my gosh, what is gonna happen? I did not see that coming. I did not see that coming. What is about to happen? What is about to happen? So it had me completely hooked and I like binged the second half of the book. I haven't explained that all what it's about. It takes place in a school setting, so already great fall vibes and there is a sort of a club, I guess, the Mary Shelley Club, they call themselves that. And these students are into horror films. I took issue with the naming of the club and the naming of the book. I feel like it was just done because it's catchy and it catches your attention to who Mary Shelley is, but the reason for them naming, the club has very little to do with Mary Shelley, so if you're hoping for that, which is what I was hoping for, there's not much of that. But the idea is they kind of want to recreate horror from horror films and that's sort of at the outset that's what they're about and that's what they're doing. And our main character is recently joined the school and recently joined the club. And from there, I don't wanna say anything because that would be spoilery. But yeah, I actually ended up enjoying this a lot more than I thought I was going to when I started reading it. The beginning is not that promising, but if you stick with it, I think it's pretty good. Next up, I have Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson. This entire trilogy really belongs on this list and it would be pretty easy to read the whole trilogy in the fall because they aren't very long books. But Truly Devious is a school setting. This is an elite boarding school. Boarding school already screams fall to me and there is a murder mystery both in the past and the present. Our main character is fascinated by an unsolved cold case from years and years ago that took place at the site of the school. So she's kind of at the school to kind of put, to try to figure out that cold case. But as she's trying to figure out that cold case, a fresh new case pops up in the present day at the school that also may or may not be connected to the cold case from the past. So our main character is with her friends is trying to solve it. And so you have an basically isolated closed circle mystery in the present as well as an isolated closed circle mystery in the past. And they are both happening and they are both a mystery and they are both quite sinister and atmospheric and they're happening like simultaneously in this story basically, or you're learning about them simultaneously. So it's like double the boarding school, double the closed circle, double the murder. And I think it's a great time. And the humor of this author's humor and thereby the character's humor does really, really work for me. If it doesn't work for you, you may not like this, but I found it quite charming, immersive and exciting to read. And again, a boarding school with a murder mystery, perfect for fall. Next up I have Small Favors by Erin A. Craig. This is the second book by Erin A. Craig. I liked both of her books. I tend, I have a grade two now. It's the endings that kind of like eludes me a little bit, but not enough to hate the book. I still like both books, but they've both been sort of like full five stars.  I tend not to like the romantic elements that she adds to her books. So there's a little of that in here, just FYI. What she excels at is mood and atmosphere. I could equally have put on this list her other book, House of Salt and Sarrows, but I like the sort of rural harvest kind of atmosphere of this, which to me is more screams fall. The other book is quite sinister and creepy, but it doesn't have that. So this does follow characters in a rural town and the dark events, the dark happenings have to do with a forest and with nature. And I mean with things that you would associate with fall, I think. I mean, there are dark creatures that come from the forest that are causing problems in this small town. It kind of is reminiscent to me of things like M. Night Shyamalan's The Village or a lesser known, but one of my personal fall favorites to watch is The Living and the Dead, which was a British series where you have a small isolated rural village and then a dark sinister forest and then possibly supernatural things happening that the town has to deal with. And that it becomes kind of like a isolated close circle mystery when this small town is plagued by this and everyone starts to suspect one another. I mean, the back of the book says, enter not the forest deep beyond the bells the dark friends keep. Sounds like fall to me. And last but not least, no fall reading list would be complete without The Secret History by Donna Tart. This is the OG dark academia and so far I've not read anything to beat it. This just is dark academia. Everyone else is a pretender so far. Maybe something will change my mind someday, but not yet. This follows classic students in an American university. They are studying the Greek classics and they are obsessive about the Greek classics and they do murder one of their own. This is not a spoiler. You know this at the beginning of the book. You just don't know how and why that happened. So we follow this obsessive student group as they are in school and doing academic things and having academic conversations and being pretentious as I'll get out. And there's also a murder and we witnessed the murder as well as the aftermath of the murder. Academia and school things I think are pretty fall and there's a murder which is dark. So, so that's my list of 13 dark fall reads. Let me know in the comments down below if you read any of these, if you wanna read these, if you have already read them and you hated them, if you have already read them and you love them. Whatever you wanna let me know. I post videos on Saturdays, other random times full of dark news Saturdays, so like and subscribe and join my Patreon if you feel so inclined and I'll see you when I see you.


Trini Girl Natural. Hi everyone. I'm coming on today to talk about my favorite products of 2016. It's been a long year. It's been a happy year. This is like my second year, so I guess year one to two natural. So it's kind of where I went from really not having any hair to kind of, okay, you have a little bit of hair. So, you know, it's been an eventful year for me and my team natural journey. And it's been an eventful year with products. I went from having a whole bunch of products that I like to having mostly HGs and stuff I like in my stash. So things have been good. So let me just get right into it. I'm going to go in order of my wash day, starting from detangling, cleansing, de-conditioning, any treatments I'm doing, leaving oil, if I do a cream, and then my gel and my refresher spray. So let's get started. I've been using DIY oil, my DIY oil mix, and my DIY conditioner lately. I may just do a video showing you like my DIY conditioner, but I have a simple jobstore conditioner on that just in case I don't happen to have a bunch of my DIY. So that one is the perfectly trust me perfectly undone. So it's not my favorite. I do prefer the original trust in my natural, but the botanique is not, it's kind of too heavy. I like this. This is a little bit lighter. So, you know, I think I guess it's the best trust to me right now. It went south. I did get some vifis that were really nice. I may kind of, they may be in here next year, but you know, for now, DIY oil, DIY conditioner, trust to me if I run out of DIY. So original the tumbler, which is this Kinky Curly, not today. Kinky Curly from everybody, I guess people are like, this is like old news, but this still was great for me. And it was better than a lot of the things that people say they've been using to the tangles. So I don't have to use it often. In fact, I probably have to use it in like six months or something because I only need this much help when I get like lint in my hair or something. For the most part, I get enough slip with like conditioner and oil to be able to get all my tangles. So yeah, once I'm done with tangling, it's time to cleanse. And I'm kind of like a cleanse kind of seal, you know, like worse for snow in Alaska.  That kind of thing. And I have like different levels of clean for like different levels of dirty. Is this Caramel Coa from Camilo Rose Natural. It's very moisturizing, lots of slip, very cleansing and very de-fining. This is like the perfect balance of cleansing and conditioning for me. It really doesn't get better. So this is like the perfect one. So, but you have a few and stuff to get me through at least some of the air. Couldn't go crazy because it's like $14, but I do have some. I just want to mention also this Blueberry Coa Wash conditioner from She Sent It. So I really like this. It's a little bit more cleansing, less conditioning than the Camilo Rose Caramel Coa Wash. But I like this because it doesn't strip my hair and it's easy to spread as well. So a little bit goes a long way. So this goes better than the Camilo Rose Coa Wash to me because I just put it on my roots and then kind of spread it down through my strands. So more clean. I get into like my moisturizing shampoos. And this is Blueberry Rose Beauty Coa Coa Creamy Shampoo. So try this. You're really missing out.   It's totally your fault. This is moisturizing, doesn't strip your hair, sudsing, defining, has lots of slip. You can detangle with it. It's really great. So this again, I put on my roots and just kind of spread through the Camilo Rose Caramel Coa Wash. I can put like all the way through. One, because I guess it doesn't spread as much. And two, because it's like, it just loves your strands. Like you don't have to worry about your hair getting dry, you know. The next step is deconditioning. So pretty much all the products that I'm mentioning here, if I didn't like want to run out of the bathroom screaming, oh my God, this is so awesome. It's not on this list. This is like the stuff that I use it.  Oh my God, wow. If I haven't said it like 10 times when I used it, it's not here. You know, at the moment, I think, is that she sent it, um, rich moisture mask. It's very, very penetrating. Like this moisturizes my hair. So as soon as I put it on, my hair feels hydrated and moisturized. There's lots of slip, very spreadable, very easy to work with because my strands only like to share with each other. So I need stuff that spreads easily. So this is the truth. You don't have to really sit for like half an hour to see results immediately. It's like, it's doing something. So like letting it work in for like half an hour, whatever. It's just like ice cream on the cake because it's amazing. And my second, I have to name the ones that made me scream, right? Right. So like from Sultaniko when I use this, I was like, yes, because I had just clarified my hair. I guess I didn't mention my clarifying shampoos, but I haven't really found the one yet, but I've been using Giovanni T3 shampoo. So I just clarified with that. And I put this on.  So like putting on something and just like, but like this went on and I felt like if I had co-washed before or something, like it just got me right back up to my moisture levels. And the slip was there. It was really easy to work with.  So little goes a long way with this, you know, which I can't really say for the she sent it. This goes further than the she sent it. So this is my second age she did conditioner. And I don't do these often, but the protein I do like every six weeks and the tea I do, when I feel like, you know, I might be getting a little more shedding and I want to get the shedding down. So the protein treatment that I love is the She Stunted Okra Reconstructor. I've been talking products a lot, but I really wanted to come on and show you my stuff for the year because I know you haven't seen every single thing here. So the Okra Reconstructor is really great. I can really tell the difference when I've used it. Does strengthen my hair. It does kind of add a little more umph and like tightness to my curls, which I love. I don't like my curls to be shabby looking. I must be, I might be the only person, but I actually like my curls to look like, you know, alive, tight and alive. So I use that for this, this for that, and it really works. And it's moisturizing and conditioning as well. So you don't have to feel like you have to be conditioned after. I always do condition after a protein treatment, just a principle, but you strictly, you can get away without doing it with this. And the Chat Hair Tea, which I mentioned in my Black Friday haul, I believe, really, really great for reducing shedding or shedding just drops dramatically. So anybody would have seen with shedding. You should definitely pick this up. And sad news, she's discontinuing it. So, and she has a salon right now. So definitely get it on this. You're welcome. You're welcome. So after my treatments, after I did condition my hair and do whatever treatments I'm doing, I get to my leave-in conditioners. And the leave-in that made me really happy this year was the She Scented Cocoa Cream Leave-In. So I had been using the She Scented Cranberry Cream Cocktail. So this was my first time this year trying this. I loved it. It was just as moisturizing, defining and awesome as the cranberry cocktail, but it was just as richer and creamier in my hair. So, you know, like all the things I looked for, but it was a little bit creamier. So I like the luxury of being able to use creamy stuff because usually I can't. Like usually creamy stuff is too heavy and just sits on my hair. But if you have fine shams or ultraloporosity and you like the creamy feel, but you want it to penetrate, overall, like she said, this is the line for you. And this is the leave-in for you. So that was like the best. This is leave-in and really good. This one, I think it's going to be one of my staples. It's definitely on my age list. Again, you know, moisturizing. If you're looking for like a brand to try, definitely Baskin Bloom or She Sent It. Those are some really good lines. And I just based on what I've been seeing and the feedback from my friends and stuff. So the other leave-in that made me really happy this year, the Camille Rose Leave-in Collection, the Latte, called it first. But it just felt so rich and creamy, like I said, going on. And I'm just glad to be able to get that experience. Rich, creamy, moisturizing. I'm defining. It has pectin-infused water first and has antim gum. So those are 25 ingredients. And it's super moisturizing as well. So I'm looking forward to trying this by itself.  I know I'm going into leave-ins a lot, but as I'm not proof hairline, this is kind of when I realized that I could actually make so tonicals work for me, because I wasn't a fan of the nuts. So even though everybody raised about it, it just didn't have slip on my hair. And I wasn't a fan of the mango dip slip, because that has slip, but it just sat on my hair. So I was like, oh my God, I'm finding satanicus leave-in. And then she talked about this one being like the baby of the two, like the best of both worlds. And I was like, okay, I'm going to try it. I tried it. And it was exactly what she said. Moisturizing, defining, rich and creamy, with slip, just perfect. So I have an actually leave-in from so tonicals now. So I'm really happy with so tonicals right now. And I'm trying one of their butters this year. So I might be expanding my so tonicals usage even more in 2017. One honorary mention for the leave-ins, I don't have it with me, was the shea moisture JBCO styling lotion or styling lotion, something like that. That was also really good. And that was also a pleasant surprise, because I was like, but that's on my top shea moisture. I have to do a video on my favorite shea moisture products, because that one is actually on my top shea moisture. That's the shea moisture that can hang. That product can hang with everything else here. So I was like, okay, you know, so I also bought the leave-in shea moisture JBCO leave-in to try. But I haven't tried it yet. I'm going to be trying it in 2017. But the styling lotion is really good as a leave-in. And it doesn't even hear hard or crunchy or anything like that.  So definitely, if you're looking for something convenient in drugstore to try, that would be my pick. It's finally done with leave-in. Actually, then I got into like my butters and creams. So these tend to last a really long time, because I just use like a little bit in my fingertip and put it on. Like you see how heavy I am with leave-in, just again, trying to get it to spread. So by the time I get to like, do I want to put a cream? My hair is already like, you know, pretty good honestly. But I've been kind of dabbling with creams and butters, just trying to see if it maybe helps me retain moisture longer or add any softness or, you know, like if it does anything for me. Moisture butter. This is one of my first butters that I try. But I really love it. It's not too heavy. It's actually light enough for me to use as a refresher, which I can save a lot of products. Most products I can't put it on my hair dry. It's not going to kind of hit it along. But this actually kind of hits my hair dry. And it also looks really nicely over and even. It's very moisturizing and has a lot of slip and so on. So I'm really still looking for butters and I have a whole bunch of new butters and stuff to try. But for 2016, I'm going to put this on the list. The other one that I really enjoy, I don't have a hair because I finished it, was the Jane Carter Curl Defining Cream. So I know she has a lot of stuff with similar names, but this is the Curl Defining Cream. I really liked that one. It was really moisturizing. Wasn't too heavy. And so that one I definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice cream styler, your cream styler gal, or if you just want to use it in your LCO or Love Method, Jane Carter Curl Defining Cream was also really nice this year. It was like, always did me right. So let me put it that way. The other one that I really love, again, more into styling cream is this Blue Rose Beauty Marshmallow Cream Gel. So this just made my hair so plump and juicy and moisturized. I really loved it. I was really, you know, I had that happy feeling when I talked about after using it. So it says Define Curl and we use this first and it definitely does that.  I use like Custards, but if you're looking for a cream gel or cream styler, definitely pick this up. You are welcome. You will love it. I promise you, you will love it. So yeah, so that's it for cream gels and butters and stuff. But if you watch this video in a year, I'm going to probably have a whole new different pile in there because I have so many to try. My next section is oils. I don't really use a lot of oils. Um, no, I don't use store bought oils.  I mix them myself, which is the purple tea sealant softener. So this isn't really an oil. It's like a croff of oil in a leaving. So it doesn't feel, but it smells something. I love the smell. It really does sealant softener, add shine, and reduce frizz and everything like that. So definitely if you're looking for an oil, if you're looking for like a leaving collection, you can't go wrong with the Camero's, um, leaving collection because it's like $30, nine ounce products and they're all awesome. So that's the one oil I've been using this year. I've been loving it. You see how low this is? This is low for me compared to everything else. And I call it, I think pretty late in the year. So I've been hitting this. I go into the Custards and gels. So you know for the most part, I DIY, like I said, my DIY, I think what am I on? So you know, this is me with kind of a bigger hair, but I haven't gotten to a new match. And for that, my favorite is the Camero's Naturals Curlmaker. It's a real gel, the first gel I love. And I've been raving about this perfectly since I went natural. So I've been using this since my, I was like, you know, much shorter for over a year. And I still love it. If you check out Instagram, my hair is just so soft. Like that's the thing I look like. It's softness moisturized the whole day. You know, sometimes you use other things that you have to like, spray it all over and really work in moisture like every other day or something. This keeps my hair moisturized all week. I'm like, do you want to moisturize your hair? Because you, I really don't have to. And my hair just feels so soft to the touch and everything, which I love, you know. So definitely get this. I know people say it's pricey, but tell you, but, you know, it's not like if you're going to use the whole thing in one sitting, you know, because I have a lot of hair and I'm heavy happy. And I was still only used like a quarter to a third of this in one blow. And I use a lot of products. So the average person probably get like five uses out of that, you know. And I know it's not as cheap as Eco Styler, but this makes my hair look dry and feels icky and horrible. So if you want that kind of feeling showable, pay $5 and get Eco Styler for the whole year. But that's not it for me. I rather make my own than feel like that. So or buy something like this. And I actually have hair that I love touching and that feels like hair. I like my hair to feel like bricks, crunch, even cardboard. Because to me, after you scrunch the crunch, it just feels like rubble or cardboard. I like my hair to feel like hair, like soft, touchable hairs just can't get enough of, you know. So that's why it was like Camero's color maker, not the funky. And thank you Kerry. So thank you Kerry actually made my list because to me, this is my second favorite after the Camero's color maker. I'm not sure why I haven't been hearing a lot about this lately. I don't know, people have just kind of moved on. I guess she hasn't been doing a lot of marketing. I wasn't really a fan of the way she did her ads anyway. So hopefully she does come back. She'll be a little bit more inclusive with her ads. But this product is a really good product as well. I know a little bit goes a long way. Like this little thing lasts as long for me as the big Camero's. This is like eight ounces and the Camero's is like 12 ounces. But they both last the same time. If this doesn't even last longer, like a little bit goes a long way. So what I say is this really clumps my curls really, but a little bit of this product really clumps my curls really well. So I don't need a lot to get the effect, you know. So that's pressure spray. I love this Sultana curls here. So I'm gonna refresh your spray.  I don't know if it says what purpose it's for, but it smells really great. Really nourishes my hair, really controls frizz as a dry Caribbean. So I would love smelling it. Sorry. You know, like I discussed in there. So that's really good for defining your curls as well. Aloe vera juice, which is good for moisture, lavender water, ginger. I mean, this is like a really great product to your hair, just in general. I don't think it does the trick for refreshing your hair. And it gives you a shine and everything. And it doesn't have any glycerin. So I could use this year round, which I also love. So I mean, that's a nice spray. Like it's not too light and it's not too heavy. Like I like a good enough spray when I'm kind of refreshing my hair multi-day refresh. Because pretty much all I do is put my hair on reapply product. So I'd like to have a good spray not too light, but not too heavy. And this is perfect for that. I can spray it all without having wet hair, but it's not like so light that nothing happened. So 16 happy dance year of wonderful products. I'm pretty sure it's going to be at least one or two changes in 2017. But it was really fun to kind of look through the air and just see what I like than what worked for me. So I hope you have fun seeing this. And I promise I'm going to do some more in-depth reviews where I can actually write kind of like open products and, you know, let you see the texture and stuff like that. And do some more demos and stuff like that. So that's coming up soon. So subscribe to, you know, hear more and see more and be the first to know about like what's been working for me. And, you know, I also want to talk about other things as well. I do want to do my hair school thing because a lot of people don't really know enough about natural hair. They kind of, you know, go in by what's out there, but I want to put some more actual factual information out there. So look out for that as well. And also let me know what products you use in 2016. Like what am I missing here? That was like really super duper great. So thanks for watching and I will see you in the next one and happy new year. All the best for the new year, like we say to them.


Yeah, welcome to our final session of revision in terms of using your assignment questions because today we'll be doing assignment five and then we will be done. And the following week, or not the following week on Sunday, we can go through the mock paper. We can do session one, the first half and then session two, the second half. We'll see how it goes. Like with the previous sessions, since the downloaded assessment, the preview of the assessment download sometimes doesn't have all the questions. We are just going to look for alternative questions from last year's assignment five question. Yeah, so without wasting time, let's get to it. You always remember, you need to remember that assignment five was chi-squared and regression and this are the last two chapters we just did, all study units we did. So it should still be fresh in your mind as we go through this. Which one of the following statement is incorrect about the chi-squared test of independence? Number eight, the alternative hypothesis is that two variables are independent of each other. Number two, the expected frequency for each cell is equals to the row total times the column total divided by the grand total or the sample space or the sample size. The test statistic has the row minus one times column minus one degrees of freedom where r is the number of rows and c is the number of columns. D, the two variables are categorical and e, if the observed and the expected frequencies for each cell are equal, then the test statistic will be equal to zero. Which one of the following statement is incorrect? Option A, that would be option A because the alternative hypothesis should always state that there are dependent with each other. So you need to know the properties of chi-squared test for independence or chi-squared test for contingency table. In a contingency table with the rows five and the columns four, how many degrees of freedoms are there for a chi-squared test of independence? Remember, your degrees of freedom is your number of rows minus one times your number of columns minus one. Option C, 12. It would be rows, there are five minus one times columns, there are four minus one. Five minus one is four times four minus one is three and the answer is okay. Because I don't have the information, we're going to skip number three. Probably we will have a question similar to that from E-Past. You see that the contingency table below to test the independence between distance from home and school level. What is the expected frequency of primary school learner traveling between three kilometers and six kilometers from home to school? Primary and between three and six. What do you need to do first? Choose the correct answer from the list below. So what is it that we need to do here? We need to calculate the total. What is the total for between three kilometers and six kilometers? It's 313. 313. Oh, we can all actually do the total for the whole table if you want. What is the total for 115 and 75 and 315 and 165. 418. 115 plus 210 plus 315. 640. 610 foot and 75 plus 120 plus 165. 360. 640 plus 360. 1000. 1000. So now let's answer this question. We need a frequency of primary and between. Which is the raw total multiplied by column total divided by N. What is the raw total for primary and for primary is 640 multiplied by the column total of 313 divided by 1000. What is the answer? It's B, but the answer is 211.2. Like that? Yes. I don't know whether they would have asked for that. Hold on. I just want to check some of these questions are similar to the last year's questions. We can use this one. Given a, given the following two by three contingency table contains the observed frequencies and expected frequencies in bracket from a sample of 364 observation. Calculate the high square test statistics required to test the independence of raw and the variables. Choose the correct answer. Now in the exam, in order for you to save time because there are one, two, three, six, there are six. Remember, the test statistic is calculated by means of the sum of your observed minus your expected squared divided by your expected, right? In the exam, you can use your template. This is a, let's go back to the template. It's a two by three contingency table. So you go to the two by three contingency table that the table can be bigger and put it right on the corner. So here is our two rows, three columns. All I just need to do, change the values to P to Q, A, C. I don't have to worry about the values in the brackets because they will get, they will be calculated at the bottom. I need to remove all those and put in 55, 40, 79, from there before, 56. And you will see that you need to put it to two decimal but it looks exactly the same as the rest of them. You can see that these values are the same as the values that are on here. If I put them to two decimals, all of them, they will be the same. So given this information, they just want you to calculate the test statistic. And the test statistic is just the value here at the bottom. She's 9.40, which is option D. So you can use the template. Remember, it's an open book. So you can use a template for your question. But we need to know how to use the template. If you are not using the template, then we're going to... You need to have patience and work faster because you will need to save 55 minus 45.54. Take the square of that, divide everything by 45. 45.54. Plus, then you go and do 40 minus 45.89. And you take the square and you divide by 45.89. Plus, until you do all the values up until you get 200 minus 93.43 squared. Divide by 93.43. And the answer when you're done, it should give you the same as 9.40. But please, on this question that we have, we can do the same. For answer this, we can do the same. Instead of using the 55, we can use 75. Let's just remove all of them. 75. 84. 60. 50. 88. And 41. And the answer is 6.3 from the data that we have. And that's how you will do the calculations. This one, same as what we had previously, they told us that in question 5, you would have answered the same question like this. And they already calculated your test statistics. So you don't have to go and calculate it again. And they are telling you that if alpha of 10%, which one of the following statement about the conclusion will be corrected. So what you need to do, because the decision, let's start there. The decision that you need to make is based on if your test statistics, if it's greater than your critical value, then you reject the null hypothesis. That is the decision rule. So we need to go find the critical value. Finding the critical value, your critical value will be alpha and the degrees of freedom. So what is our degrees of freedom? The row minus one times column minus one. So how many rows do we have? We only have two rows. How many columns do we have? One, two, three columns. And that will be two minus one is one. Three minus one is two. One times two is two. So we do have our degrees of freedom. So we need to go find of zero comma one zero and the degrees of freedom of two. For sure, I didn't feel ease of sharing because I don't want you to see my entire the table. You need, when you go write the exam, right? Please make sure that you have everything you need in front of you. Because you won't have the chance to stand up and move around and go somewhere. Make sure you have two pens, two pencils, a ruler, whatever you will need, a working calculator, papers, everything. You can only stand up once you're done with one session. Okay, so it's open. I'm just going to share again my entire screen so that then we can kick off. Okay, so, well, we need to go to Chi square first. It's a critical values of Chi and there is critical values of Chi. We need the alpha value and two where they both meet. So your critical value is four comma six zero five. So four comma six zero five. We got that. Now we need to make a decision based on that. So our test statistic is one comma five seven. So if we go into make a decision, you can also for a Chi square test, you can also draw for yourself because the Chi square actually it is a left skew test if you don't know. It's a right skew test, sorry. So it means if you don't know how Chi square test look, it will be like this. So there is where you go. Always your critical will be on the upper side. It's always a one tail. It is a two tail test, but for decision we only use one tail. So I'm just going to draw it like that. I'm not good with drawings. So bear with me. As I try to draw your critical value was four comma six zero five. Anything that falls in the shaded area, we reject the null hypothesis. So our one point five, six falls in there do not reject. So therefore we do not reject the null hypothesis. I'm already giving you the answers. Okay, which one of the statements we it's correct. So we're looking for the correct statement of already giving you some of the things that you need. Okay, so let's see statement number one says we do not reject the null hypothesis. And we can conclude that the distance from school and school level are independent of each other. Number B, we do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the distance from school and school level are not independent of each other. Number C, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the distance from school and school level are independent of each other. Number D, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the distance from school and school level are independent. Number E, the alternative hypothesis that the distance from school and school level are independent of each other. A, B, C, D, O, E. H naught says independent, H, A says which one of the statements will be correct? I've already gave you a hint in terms of how you get to the answer. I've given you a partial answer, so which one? I think the answer is between A and B. A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, because we're not rejecting the NALA hypothesis, therefore it means that the distance from school and school level, they are independent. Yes, it's A. Let me see if we do have, so now we're moving into the definition. If we do have a question like this, I know that we should have a question similar to that. There we go. I already gave you the answer. If you were so quick to look at the options, you should know which one is the answer. Which one of the following statement is incorrect about some of the concepts of simple linear regression? Let me put it this way because it's going to be different. Look and feel. So we're looking for the incorrect. I'm hoping, I'm hoping that it's looking for the incorrect statement. Okay, so number A, the least square method estimates the regression equation by maximizing the error of the sum square, which is the SSE. Number B, the coefficient of determination gives an indication of how well the estimated regression equation fits the data. Number C, the coefficient of determination takes a value between 0 and 1. Number D, the correlation coefficient takes on values between negative 1 and 1. E, the correlation coefficient takes on the sign of the slope of the estimated regression. A, B, C, D, E. Which one? Is it A? Or is it B? Because C is correct because the coefficient of determination is R squared. So it will be, it can never be negative. D, it's correct because we know that it can be negative or positive. And the slope and the coefficient of correlation are also the same sign. So you can have the coefficient of correlation sign in different from the slope. Which one of the following statements is incorrect? So if this is correct and this is correct and this is correct, therefore it leaves us with the two statements. Do you know how to interpret the coefficient of determination? Remember, the coefficient of correlation tells you the strength and the direction, right? And we can say things are positively correlated or negatively correlated. What about the coefficient of determination? It has everything to do with total variation or the variation in your independent variables, independent variables can be attributed by the variation in your dependent variable. So the only incorrect statement here is B. The least square method estimates the equation by minimizing the errors of the sum squares. Because in terms of, if you can remember, your y hat is equals to B0 plus B1 and plus errors. But we normally, because we want, we try to minimize those errors, hence it's not always included in your, in your equation because of that. So number A would have been correct. What? Oh, probably what? What, what? But number B is the one that, number A is the one that is not correct. The least square method regression equation, that statement is correct estimate by minimizing the errors. This is correct. Probably on this question, they had an error with this question. This should be B, because this statement is correct. Which is different to the question that we had here. As you can see, we're looking for the incorrect statement and you can see that B is correct because this statement is correct. A correlation coefficient of 0,1 will indicate a negative correlation. C says the correlation coefficient takes a value between 0 and 1. We know that it takes a value between negative 1 and 1. So that is correct. That is correct. The coefficient of determination can be interpreted as the total or as the percentage of the total sum squares that can be explained by using the estimated regression line. And that is also correct. The slope and the intercept of the estimated regression line are estimated using the least square method. Yes, because that is the equation of yB is equals to B0 plus B1x. So the only one that is incorrect is that. And you can see on this side, they actually even got it as correct. But when it comes to this question, they stopped them around. I don't know why probably. I don't know. Okay, because this, I don't have all the values at the top. We can use last year's one. It might be that we won't find the answer on this one as well. I think there was an error somewhere. Okay, so even the consider the sample data below and develop a scatter plot, which one of the, which one of scatter plot A to F best describes the data. So you can select two points and come and look at the, and select which one will best represent the data. I can't make the screen. So if I choose 23 and 25, I need to make sure that if I'm on 20, if I'm on 20, on the x axis, the value of the x axis should correspond with the value of the y axis at 24. And I can see that we do have this point, which represent that we can use the method of elimination. So here I am on 23. It's somewhere here and 20. And this graph as well doesn't start at 25. It started 30. So this is incorrect. You can use that method of elimination as well like that. Okay, and moving to this one, we have 23 should be somewhere here and 25 should be somewhere here. Unless this point is on 25, if I draw a line like that, maybe because of my shaky hands, do you think that dot is on top of 25? No, it looks like it's above. It looks like it's above. We can put the question mark on that one. Let's do another process of elimination on this one. So we know that 23 will be somewhere here, somewhere there, because that is 30 and 25. And we can see that 25 is above. So we can eliminate as well. Coming on this side, 23 can be somewhere here. And 25 will be somewhere there. So this also will not fit the data because I'm looking at 23 and 25, right? On this one, there is no 25 there. So it cannot be. So between plot A and D, let's give that one a benefit of it out. So let's go to 32 and 31. So if I'm on 32, it should be somewhere here, right? And there are no points. 32 and 31. So I can give that one a benefit of it out and say that is 32 and 31. And so this will not be correct. So I already eliminated all of them except A. So the correct plot should be A. Let's see. So the correct plot is plot A. So coming to the answers, we say it's plot A, where is plot A? Plot A is on E. Plot A is E. Yay, that's correct. That's plot A. That's how if you get a question like this in the exam, you just use the process of elimination and get over and done with that. So especially like if you look at the answers here, you can see that your y-axis has 17 or 22 as the highest. This goes up until third. Any value above 22. So 22 is here on the y-axis, right? So it means this graph already, I can look at the y-axis, which has 22 and I can apply the method of elimination from there. So this graph doesn't have any value linking to 22 and below because there is 8. We don't have on this one, 22 at least it allows. So we can still use that. This one doesn't even start at 0. So we can also extract that one. And this one starts at 0, it starts at 0 and we can do a process of elimination like that. But the challenge with this because I don't have the x-value, so I don't know what this point corresponds with. I can find the y-values. So here it says a y-value should be at least 30. We don't have any y-value that is more than 22. So that one can go. So already we eliminated 3. Let's see. We need a y-value of 22 and a y-value of 22 is there. A y-value of 17 is there. So there should be 1, 2, 3, 17. 1, 2, 3, 17. And there should be 2, 18. So there are 2, 18. So I'm going to go with e at this point because looking at this there should be 3, 17. There is nothing there, right? So this is also not. There should be 3, 17. If these are 17, then they will be correct. But they should be 2, 18. If those are 2, 18, then it's correct. They should be 2, 10. Then I don't have the 10. Because then I've already used my 2, 13. So this won't be correct. So plot e on this question should have been the correct one. So e is on e. And you can see there. Even though I didn't have the x-value, I can still make out on the plot by thinking how to do a process of elimination on this. Okay. So going on to the next question. So this one talks about the reading h. There should be another question like that. And that is the question. So we can use this one. You are tasked with investigating the relationship between the reading speed y and hx of a primary and high school learners. Using simple linear regression, which one of the following statements about the investigation is incorrect. So we're looking for the incorrect answer here. A, the dependent variable is h. Always remember x is in the dependent. And y is your dependent. So a, the h variable is a dependent variable. B, the estimated regression equation will take a form of reading speed is equals to b1 times h plus b0, where b1 is your slope. B0 is your intercept for the estimated regression equation. Number C, the reading speed is a quantitative discrete variable. I've already gave you the answer because I'm showing the answer on this question. If the correlation coefficient is negative, then there is a negative linear relationship between reading speed and h. And the answer here would be h is a dependent variable. Let's go back to your questions from your assignment, which is almost exactly the same as what we went through. So if we are looking for the incorrect statement. So we're looking for the incorrect statement, probably the same statement that reads would have read like this. So we know that y is your dependent variable. So on your question, they say your y variable, which is the reading speed is independent. So that's what would be incorrect. Age is continuous. The coefficient of correlation is positive. Then for it means that there is a positive linear relationship. And this is the regression line. This is another question. Consider the data following the number of those following the age in years and the reading speed in words per minute of learners at Kiba Middle School in Fremont Bay. Which one of the following or which one of the calculated quantities is incorrect? You can use the template to do this. So remember, we do have this template. So now, because this template doesn't look exactly like the template you have, or the, the values you have on there, you need to know what is happening on, on yet in order for you to be able to answer your questions. So let's put it this way. Just one, only this value. In this a is the sum of x. Sum of x is the total, is the total. At the bottom way, it has the color shaded. It's where you calculate the summation or your total. So the sum of x is adding all the x values. The sum of x observation minus the mean squared. I have it here. It is that color. So this is change the color when I use this is the sum of your x observation minus your mean. No, it's not. It is not because this is the sum of x and y. Sorry, my bad. We're looking for the sum of xi minus the mean, xi minus the mean squared, right? It is this one. It is the sum of your x minus the mean squared. That is that color. This one, see the sum of x minus the mean times this y minus the mean. It is this one. The sum of x minus the mean x times y minus mean of y. It is that color. So the data that I have on here is the same as the data that we have there. I'm able to see that the correct answers. The slope, remember, once you have put in your data, it also do the calculation on here. Our slope, which is b1. It's your slope. If you don't know what slope, I do have this information at the end to tell you what you are calculating. So the slope is b1 and oh, sorry, this is the intercept b0. Intercept b0, it's minus 1.49. b1, it's 18.9. If you round it off to 2 decimal. So the incorrect statement would be and this probably is this. Hence, I still have the data on the template. It would have been the same as last year's one. Okay, cool. Happiness? Yes, thank you. Then this one, it's cut off. Do you mind if I ask a question? Yes, you can. Is it based on the one that we just went through? It's a different question based on the exam. Is that fun? Okay. Yeah. Awesome. So you have mentioned in the WhatsApp group that we are allowed to use resources. Does that include the template? Okay. I'm going to not answer that at the moment. Okay. Yeah. It would stay a little bit longer. Okay, cool. So let's do the, I think probably is the same. Yes, it is the same. The following regression equation estimates the reading speed y of LENAS and Zakias Malaza secondary school in Amalatleni as a function of their hx. And this is their regression line y is equals to 10.4x plus 107.9. Calculate the estimated reading speed for 15 year LENAS. So easy, right?  So this is your x. Do the calculation and let me know what is 10.4x15 plus 117.9. I got 263.9, which is the same as 264. 263.9 and you can just round it off to 264. And that would be A. Okay, let's go back to your assignment. So on your assignment, the reading speed estimated regression equation for the LENAS at Mount View Secondary School is your reading speed of 20.2 times the h minus 60.5 with the correlation coefficient of 0.97. Which one of the following statement is incorrect? Okay, so the coefficient of determination is r squared. So you need to calculate r squared. So therefore you need to calculate 0.97 squared because it is r squared. And if it's 94, then that statement should be correct. Number B, A1 year increase in LENAS h, increase in the reading speed with the sign in front tells you the sign. If it's negative, it's a decrease. If it's positive, it will be an increase. Number C, so the sign in front of the slope, or yeah, probably the sign in front of the slope let's not use the coefficient of correlation because we're not talking about that. Number C, an 18 year old LENAS is expected to have a reading speed of that. So where you see h, you put the 18 year and solve the equation. So this is the reading speed. So your answer should be 20.2 times 18 minus 60. And that should give you, if it gives you that, then it's the answer. Number D, look at the coefficient of correlation and say the direction and the strength. So the strength and the direction of that relationship. Does it reflect that? Which one of the following statement is correct? A, B, C or D? Incorrect. Did you calculate all of them? C is correct, D is correct. I did not calculate all of them. A is also correct. A is correct. If it's going to be B, right? Yes, yes, yes, because if you look at, oh yes, I didn't read all of it. This is the problem here. The hence why it is incorrect. So this is correct. That is correct. That is correct. This would have been correct if they used 20 points because this is the definition of the slope and the slope is this value here. This is the intercept because they use the intercept there. It should be 20.2. So a one year increase in the learner's age increases the reading speed by 20.2. It should be like that. So the incorrect statement here is B. I don't know why. So when you calculated the 18 year old onto this, you do get three or three, right? Yeah. The next, I think this is the last question. Given the data, I don't know whether they were asking you to calculate what. Let's see. Okay, consider the observed and predicted reading speed for the school. Use the given equation to calculate your sum square due to error and choose the correct answer. So you need to be calculating SSE. In the exam, they will not give you a big table like this, right? Or big numbers like this because they want to make sure that you have enough time. Okay. So because this was part of the assignment, at the bottom of this template, there are some square measures like this. So they're asking you to calculate this. Now, calculating this, it means you will need to change this values because it uses the mean of Y and the mean of Y is calculated idea at the top. So it means you will have to also calculate or change the data set there so that you can have this mean of Y because in this formula, let's go back to the formula. If we click double click on the formula, you will see that it uses, oh, doesn't use the mean it uses what? Let's make a query of this. You need to make sure that oh, it uses the estimate. So it's your observed minus your estimated values. So now, but you will still need to use, you will still need to use the top part because it uses the regression line to estimate every value. So I need to have these values in order for us to calculate the estimates. The estimate, this value is here. So if I double click on this, it should give us the formula. So you can see that it goes and it takes the value of your regression line. If we go back up, you will see that it takes those values there. So it means the top part needs to also be replaced. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. I have 10 values and I have 10 values. So it's, I can still use the template as it is. It's just replacing the values. So it's going to take long. I hope you are also doing it on your site, on your template 78. I'm just going to do the one line first, 274. You will look at my data and tell me if I'm putting it in wrong because I'm not watching what I do. I'm looking at the keyboard. 96 and 246 and 168. I'll check everything correctly. Then do the next one, which is a little bit tricky, 180.36, 271.28 and 180.16. I'm not doing the right one. I think you need to use commas and not full stops. I have it 271.28. Lizzie, I think you need to use commas in your numbers, not the full stop. Not the full stop. Thank you. Okay, it's my setting on my laptop. I think I've changed my English. My, yeah, it's using the USA. I must change my settings. I will change them. So 162. Oh, I changed it to South Africa, I think. I'm not sure. 36198.284.91, 216. Sorry, Lizzie. Did I miss something? Are they 298? Yeah. Yeah, it's fine. I'm hoping this. 198.4216.73. There are two of them, right? 6.73 and 180. If I was the second time of any company, they would have fired me long time because I'll take forever to type. I can't type faster. Okay, so I'm just going to copy the same information here, the X and Y and paste them right here at the bottom. And the values change. And I must check this value. It is the sum of all of them. So we can answer our questions. Let's go to the options. Let's go. I don't have the answers. Did I capture everything correctly? I think what happened was that you captured the values perfectly fine, but that's not the X and Y values that you're actually supposed to be using. Because I have from when I did the assignment, I still have the document the same way. And my X values are like below 20. All of the values are like below 20. And all the Y values are the ones from the, if you scroll up a little bit on your document. So all the values you currently have in the X column, right? I have all of those in the Y column. And in my X column, I have different values to yours. And then I actually have the answer as well, that I can see from the document as well, that 2633 on D. I have that value listed in my sum of error, sum of squared error. Wait, let's go back there. Sure. So I think what happens is you don't have the values that you missing a few, but I don't think you have them available to you either. I don't have all the values. So those values will stick with the decimal places. I don't think you need them for your mind. No, there's values in that with the decimal this. You need them on here because the formula here is the sum of your Y observation, which is your original observation minus your estimated observation, which are this estimated observation using your regression line. So let me just double check my regression line. So using your regression estimate. So I must use those two values. Wait, something is not, yeah, it is correct because it's using the B1 and the B0. And you estimate, I'm just going to go back there. And this is just, I just need to double check all the values that they do, what they supposed to be doing. And just to remove this. Okay. So this is going to double click in search. It should be your Y value minus your estimated value squared, right? So it does that for each and every one of them. I just want to make sure that it should be, make sure this value, they didn't make a mistake here too. So what are the titles of the columns? The X and the Y columns that you're currently using on the assignment? There? Lizzie, I think you need to swap it around. I think the values that you have, yeah, no, no, no. I think the values that you have on the Y is supposed to be on the X side and the values that you have on the X side supposed to be on the Y because I also had a similar problem when I did my assignment. When I swapped the figures around, Danny gave me the answer. Okay. Okay. Oh, you know what? Because now I'm doing something very totally different. No, no, no. We're not swapping anything around. It is, they've given us the predicted values. So these are not the Y values. So my bet. So on the formula, this formula. Okay. Right. On this formula, this is your Y and this is your Y hat. That's what they gave us should be like that. So on here, we should be using this value minus, actually, I should not change there. We go back there. Sorry. My bet. Now I see what you mean. So we should be saying our Y value minus our Y hat value because they gave us your Y value and your Y hat value there. So we just change the template a little bit. And it should give us two, six, six, three. There you go. Which is that way. So what they gave us is not X and Y is the predicted value and your reading speed. So they, you just substitute the sum of the formula. Yes. See, sometimes when you use the, it's the sum of your Y value minus your estimated square. So you just take this value minus that square the answer and do the rest of them. Should be it. This should be the same as what you have on here. So on this one, because the data is different, you do the same.  You just complete. And that's it. That completes today's session. Are there any comments or questions with the question, the assignment? If not, then I'm going to stop recording.
