So I'm hitting 40% over 30 tries, twice what random chance would account for. What does that imply?

- jonknee 17y agoThat profiling works. I was getting a bit better than 50%, surprised myself.
- Shamiq 17y agoI'm not sure how you're defining "works". I couldn't get anything close to what I would call reasonably acceptable when trying to exploit known and my own stereotypes. Perhaps "may marginally increase % correct".
- jonknee 17y agoIf I can consistently get the perp right half the time that's statistically significant which in my book qualifies as "works". That's all profiling is supposed to do, skew the odds in your favor.
- ovi256 17y agoI asked myself the same question. Could be just a lucky run though. Unfortunately, I can not remember right now how to compute the probability that such a streak is a lucky run.
