Calculating the maximum likelihood estimates for the normal distribution shows you why we use the mean and standard deviation define the shape of the curve.

Viewers asked for worked out examples, and this one is super mathy, but I just couldn't say "no"!

0:00 Awesome song and introduction
0:45 Overview of the normal distribution equation
1:41 Example with one data point
5:38 Example with two data points
7:35 Example in 'n' data points
8:08 Solving for the MLEs for mu and sigma
18:54 Review of concepts

Correction:
2:39 I said likelihood=0.03 for mu=30, but mu=28 is in the equation.
