[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You do not understand statistics.

In a recent survey 25 percent of the gay respondents stated that Gin is their preferred liquor, while only 10 percent of the surveyed straight men named Gin.

That doesn’t mean all gay men like Gin. That doesn’t mean anyone who drinks Gin is gay.
But it means that there is a higher probability that if you prefer Gin, you are gay.

[quote]No, you don’t understand statistics. There are nine times as many straight men as gay men. So if a given man prefers gin, there is a 78 percent chance he is straight.[/quote]

First, do not quote a "recent survey" without a supporting link. Next, how big is the sample size of the total respondents, and were the respondents selected at random, or were they men who posted a response to a question? This "survey" could be based on ten men responding to a question online (or the same man posting ten responses).

The fact that there are nine times as many straight men as gay men is not the critical variable. The variable to test is "Of men that prefer to drink gin, how many are gay?" This test will answer the question of what the percentage chance is that a gin-drinking man is gay.

Of course, in the end, we should ask why answer such a question when the original poster was stupid for asking it?[/quote]
