I don't care age, again if can be screened and respectful and mindful of my rules. If that's the case I've had more butt heads that were Caucasian then any other race...Let's see now. Caucasians outnumber AA by about 10 to 1. So, you should have 10 times more caucasian butt heads than AA butt heads. What if you have only 2 times more Caucasian butt heads than AA but heads?

For all we know she the amount of white men she sees could be roughly equal to the amount of black men she sees and that's when your math falls apart.
Well you do the math. Doesn't it mean that you need to be more careful with AA customers?
The review in math may change your thinking.

doubtfulNo one said you were stupid. I love probability theory. Probability affects more areas of our lives than we realize. If one would think about probability the casinos would go out of business when everyone realized that most of the time the odds are stacked against us of making any money gambling.
we are made to win, not " seek truth"
and
Our Brains Don't Understand Probability
and we are just stupid

For example she may see twice as many blacks as whites have have half the problem with blacks as she does whites. Thus your numbers would be irrelevant to her experience. Bottom line, your probability numbers are meaningless to her experience since you can't know the population of clients by race and the population of assholes by race that she sees.

Does everyone agree that there are more white people than black people in the overall population right now? (I know things are changing.)
If so, it is most likely that she will see more white than black clients, and as a result have more problems with whites than black.
Then, it follows that she should be able to say she has more problems with whites than blacks, as expected.
But, it doesn't mean (as implied) that the risk of problems is greater with white than with black clients.

Personal likes/dislikes, experiences with populations, etc. can change any of your assumptions. Just because there are more whites than blacks in general population doesn't mean an individual may see more whites than blacks. Your premise is correct, your conclusion is false.
Women who have NBA policies see a skewed sample of the general population.
Now you seem to understand. The purpose of statistical analysis is to intentionally skew the standard distribution curve in your favor, thus altering the outcome. Unless you are an idiot professor who just describes generally what may happen with vast numbers. Make it work for you, not get a Ph.D. to describe a world that we don't need or want.
Nothing says an individual may have preference for the reverse in which case she would see no whites. SW who work in predominately black neighborhoods may see more black than white clients. I don't know any particular provider's preferences or client list and would guess you don't either.

but emotion can sway your objectivity in setting up your populations, samples, etc, thus altering your conclusions. Originally Posted by Fsn57

It means don't generalize. Learn to understand the numbers, and don't use the one arm bandits, or play the lottery: in the end you will loose.
