:It comes from the inner-game data. Remember, Pokémon with 50/50 gender ratios are like flipping coins, the previous flip doesn't affect the next flip. Pokémon with 25/75 gender ratios is like rolling 4-sided dice, the previous roll doesn't affect the next roll. So, regardless of the ratio (unless it's genderless, or single gender species), it's 100% possible to get a large streak of either gender. - [[User:Kogoro|<span style="color:#DA70D6;">'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>'''</span>]] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|<span style="color:#FFB6C1;">'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>'''</span>]] - 17:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC) | :It comes from the inner-game data.

::I know how independent probability works. It's just the chance of finding a streak of nine Feebas with only one male is incredibly unlikely. ...Though, actually, any random string of nine with X Boys and X Girls is equally unlikely...<small>- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Goukazaru}} ([[User talk:Goukazaru|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Goukazaru|contribs]]) ''</small> | ::I know how independent probability works.

:::The odds of eight or more Feebas out of nine being female is 10/512 which works out to about 1.95%, so yeah, it's pretty unlikely, but it's not ridiculously unlikely. Plus, nine is a really small sample size. Your margin of error is about 33%, meaning that if you hypothesize that the gender ratio is 75% female, 50% (the correct value) is within your margin of error.
