OkCupid's Reply by Race graph, labeled.

This is correct IF the labeling should match the graph before it in OkCupid's blog, on which it is based.



I based these percentage values on the colors of two of the other charts, which matched each other.

54- means 0-55.
64+ means 64-100 (I'm curious why they clipped these in the color values).
A value of, for example, 55.5 means that I didn't have enough data to tell if it was 55 or 56. Fortunately this only occurred in ranges of 1.

My column and row labels were correct, but my percentages were way too high (although probably proportional).

I don't think this is about response rate, just about match percentage.

Nope.

The title "Message Reply Rates By Race: male sender" is copied from the chart that the data was taken from.

The chart before it on the okcupid blog showed match percentage by race. The variance was pretty statistically insignificant.

Ah. I stand corrected.

Interesting.
