“B has the higher conditional probability,
but the marginal probabilities reverse.
The weights we discussed earlier are different.”
B was higher in both groups.
How can A be higher overall?
30-second demo · Statistics
“B can be higher on each device, yet A can be higher overall. This happens because the weights we discussed earlier are different.”
| Device | Page A | Page B |
|---|---|---|
| PC | 90% | 95% |
| Mobile | 10% | 20% |
| Overall | 82% | 35% |
B is higher on desktop and mobile, but the overall result is reversed.
“Of A’s 100 visitors, 90 are on desktop and 10 on mobile. B has 20 desktop and 80 mobile visitors. The overall rate is a weighted average using each device’s share of visitors.”
The lecturer mentioned “weights.”
I missed what those referred to.
“Why is it reversed overall?”
Earlier, the lecturer explained that A had many more desktop visitors, who purchase at a higher rate. A and B do not combine desktop and mobile visitors in the same proportions.
With equal weights, A is 50% and B is 57.5%. The difference was each page’s visitor mix.
Record the lecture.
Work through what puzzled you. Revisit it later.
Understanding starts with connections.
Sometimes a concept only makes sense with the lecturer’s example
and the assumptions introduced earlier.
Lecue reads what your lecture has covered so far.
Even a short “Why does that happen?”
can lead you back to the missing connection.
Why did that term disappear from the equation?
What was the assumption mentioned earlier?

Stay with the lecture instead of searching your notes. Recording continues while you read the answer.
What did “weights” refer to just now?
The shares of desktop and mobileLectures and questions stay organized by subject. Create a review note to revisit before your next class.
Why can groups and their total tell different stories?
Check your lecturer’s and institution’s policies. Only record where recording is permitted.
After the lecture ends
You do not have to reread everything.
Your questions stay beside their explanations,
giving you a place to start reviewing.
Simpson’s paradox · Conditional probability and weighted averages
“B is higher in both groups. Why is it reversed overall?”
The overall rate combines each group’s rate
in proportion to the size of that group.
First check what is being mixed, and in what amounts.
A: 90% × 0.9 + 10% × 0.1 = 82%
B: 95% × 0.2 + 20% × 0.8 = 35%
With a 50:50 device mix, A is 50% and B is 57.5%. The overall rate alone does not establish the effect of the page itself.

No. The demo uses a prepared statistics lecture and explanation. It does not turn on your microphone. Choose Close demo or press Escape to return.
Use your laptop microphone for an in-person lecture, or share the browser tab playing an online lecture. For online lectures, use Chrome on a laptop, select the lecture tab, and turn on Share tab audio.
Check your lecturer’s and institution’s recording policies first, and obtain any required permission. You can pause or stop recording during use.
No. Start with your Lecue account. Connecting a personal API key is an optional advanced setting.
Transcription and AI explanations can contain mistakes. Check important points against your lecture and course materials. If an answer differs from your lecturer’s explanation, ask about that specific part.
You can revisit them in your account’s classrooms. For details about data handling and retention, see our Privacy Policy.
