I definitely hesitate to draw any global conclusions. If you look at my post with all my daily earnings over four years you see things can be quite spiky, so this could very well be a four-time fluke. My one theory would be that people who won money on the Super Bowl might want to spend it the next day. But to your point, I never talked with other dancers who had detailed records. :)

This might be hard to do depending on your records, but maybe check other earnings around other sporting events? It might be gambling winnings, and while it probably can't prove it, it might yield a trend.

It doesn't have to be major sporting events either like the super bowl, it might just be general sports gambling, which would be crazy fun and interesting to see! So maybe dig through records around other sporting events!

Fascinating but I suspect the null hypothesis remains unmoved

No way you just invoked the null hypothesis to a stripper

Is the implication that a stripper wouldn't know what "null hypothesis" means? 😂

I think he is implying that assuming the stripper population follows a normal distribution, knowledge of the null hypothesis is likely concentrated in samples several standard deviations above the mean.

Either that or he’s schooling me on how to chat up a stripper. I’m too socially awkward to figure out which is which.

It might not be true for all strippers but I definitely prefer talking nerdy over talking dirty.

I think their are definitely outliers in every profession. I would wager a bet that you are in the 99th percentile.
