What we learned from analyzing 5000 email inboxes

&gt; <i>4. There is such a thing as girl power when we talk about email</i><p>The data presents a correlative link between gender and email activity, but not a <i>causal</i> link. (I would expect that the user&#x27;s profession, which likely has a biased gender ratio, to be the more pertinent factor).<p>Additionally, the phrase &quot;they have a higher response rate, of 15% compared to 13% for men&quot; does not make it immediately obvious if it&#x27;s a statistically significant difference. (at n=5000, it may be, but it would be better with the math present)<p>As a whole, the analysis could use confidence intervals, because email activity in particular has a <i>very</i> skewed distribution between normal users and power users.

&quot;On average, people receive around 42 emails per day (that’s 4 per working hour).&quot; Really cool insights
