Random Sampling: The FAANG Cheat Code (Why Amateurs Lose Millions)

Описание: One biased test can kill an entire product launch. If you are manually selecting users for your A/B tests to "make it fair," you aren't conducting an experiment—you are just validating your own opinions.

Top Engineers and Product Managers at Google, Amazon, and Netflix obsess over Random Sampling because they know the cost of getting it wrong isn't just bad data—it’s millions in lost revenue. This is the single statistical concept that separates a junior with a laptop from a data professional who can survive an executive audit.

In this video, we take a raw dataset of 20 users and simulate a real-world product experiment. We will move from manual selection to algorithmic randomization (using Python and Excel logic) to prove how probability naturally balances cohorts without human interference. You will learn exactly how to set up Control vs. Treatment groups that actually defend your analysis in the boardroom.

🚀 TEST YOUR INTUITION: If your Control Group has an average age of 35 and your Test Group is 22, and your feature "wins"—did the feature work, or did you just measure age bias? Let me know your verdict in the comments.
