Tesla founder Elon Musk revealed that Twitter's sample size to review fake accounts is 100.

Fraud vitiates the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
The Twits don’t want a valid sample size, just one they can work with to get the result they need.
Right?
100 is so small that the results probably aren’t statistically valid.
Especially if you carefully choose the samples.
Boy they must REALLY be hiding something bigger than we think.
This behavior suggests to me its something criminal.
“don’t want a valid sample size, just one they can work with to get the result they need”
Just like every poll in the history of the world that suggests people like what democrats are doing
Central limit theorem. If you randomly select your sample, the probability of a sample of 10,000,000 having a substantially different percentage of bot accounts is very very small.
Anyone with a passing knowledge of statistics knows that the smaller the sample size the greater the chance of an erroneous outcome {of a favorable one is the samples have been selected and not random}.
But even if the '100 random users' were random, the first filter that twatter has to have is one that separates the real from the bots.
You could flip a coin ten times and get ten heads, but if you flip it 1000 times, it will even out.
If you get 1000 heads, you didn't check out the two headed coin.
This is how old you have to be to smell the lawyers!
What about the self generated bots that are removed from and are not part of the sample group at all?
How dumb. Twitter is software. It would be no more of a task to pull 10,000 than 100 for a sample.
About 10% of Twitter annual revenue comes from selling bulk user data to advertising related businesses.
I think we can be absolutely certain that the professionals are not paying for surveys of 100 accounts.
Exactly.
They are grasping at straws.
Elon Musk is soon going to find out Twitter is controlled by the CIA and is nothing but a propaganda arm of the Deep State.
This is becoming absurd. Just buy the company Musk. Then you can do what you want. I don’t understand why it’s on hold and why he then said he is committed to buying.
It is run by the the CIA, as was Facebook at the time Obama used it to win an election.
I think he is worried that Twitter could face serious liability from advertisers who were defrauded because Twitter cooked the books with fake accounts.
Would you pay for that?
Have they tried sampling “mail-in” tweets? They’re usually pretty reliable.
