But you don't have those chances. Male and female are sexes, gender is crap.

that was the problem, they kept saying gender but they were studying male female differences.

It's a predictive percent giving the odds that some unknown person who gives that set of responses is male or female. That's why they used the word "predicts" because the machine algorithm spitting out the prediction doesn't know the sex of who is answering. Its saying that about 90% of who answers that way is female.
