My Earthquake prediction results compared with Roger's random dates for September 2014

Roger
 Here are the results of my September results as against your 30 random dates

Total 6+ quakes...5
My results.. 3 hits out of 4

results of 30 random dates are as follows

1 hit.........6
2 hits........12
3 hits........10
4  hits.......2
...............
total........30

Now 10 +2 = 14 are better than my results out of 30. ie not even 50%
 If my predictions are below odds ,at least 75% or more should be better than my dates

The most common number of hits in my random series was 3.

You got 3 as well.

Just chance.

Now it says 4,6,10,17,24,25 and 25

The odds on getting a hit with a mag 6+ quake in a 3 day window are 0.573 so 2 hits are expected.

However, the odd on getting 3 hits in 4 tries are only slightly better than chance.

Small samples are deceptive.

What makes you think 75% should do better than you by chance?

Why?

Any result is possible by chance. It's just that some are less likely than others.

You got 3/4 but 3 of mine got 4/4 by chance.

When you say ,"anybody can beat you,"it has to be more than 80%
You may have to modify the statement
like this
"some may do better than you ,by chance"

No it doesn't. "Anybody" doesn't mean "everybody" or even a "majority" of others.
