DETECTING FRAUD
“We know meter readings are incorrect, for various reasons.
We don’t, however, have the concrete proof we need to start the process of meter reading automation.
Part of our problem is the volume of data that needs to be analysed. The other is the inexperience in tools or analyses to identify such patterns.

EDUCATION
PREDICTING MARKS
What determines a child’s marks?
Do girls score better than boys?
Does the choice of subject matter?
Does the medium of instruction matter?
Does community or religion matter?
Does the first letter of their name matter?
Does their sun sign matter?
![Page 15: Ignite Chennai: Pictures through Numbers](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5549705bb4c905dd558b5314/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Based on the results of the 20 lakh students taking the Class XII exams at Tamil Nadu over the last 3 years, it appears that the month you were born in can make a difference of as much as 120 marks out of 1,200.
June borns score the
lowest
The marks shoot up for Aug borns
… and peaks for Sep-borns
120 marks out of 1200
explainable by month of birth
An identical pattern was observed in 2009 and 2010…
… and across districts, gender, subjects, and class X & XII.
“It’s simply that in Canada the eligibility cutoff for age-class hockey is January 1. A boy who turns ten on January 2, then, could be playing alongside someone who doesn’t turn ten until the end of the year—and at that age, in preadolescence, a twelve-month gap in age represents an enormous difference in physical maturity.”
-- Malcolm Gladwell, Outliers
