minus-squareThrowawaylinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down23·10 months agoSo math time. NYC has a 41% white demographic. If all 5% white people stopped were legit stops, my calculator says only 12.19% of the stops were legitimate.
minus-squareRegular Human@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up18arrow-down4·10 months agoOh boy amateur racial crime stats
minus-squareThoth19@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·10 months agoThis doesn’t seem like a bestness of fit test. What type of statistical test did you run?
minus-squareThrowawaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoI forget how on Earth I came up with this insanity, but (100 / 41) * 0.05 = .12 So yeah, I have no idea where I got that.
minus-squareAlien Nathan Edwardcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoSounds like you took the 8:1 ratio of the percentage of white people in the general population vs the percentage of white people who were stopped by the police

minus-squareThrowawaylinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoNo, I just googled the demographics of NYC. It’s was kinda lazy and a really bad stat.
minus-squarerandon31415@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoSo only 7.56% of all police stops of non-white people were legit? (10.05+x0.95=.1219, x=0.0756)
