# Technical Document Extraction: Probability of Successful Edit
## 1. Document Metadata
* **Language:** English
* **Image Type:** Line Graph with Data Markers
* **Subject:** Statistical analysis of edit success rates relative to prior failures.
## 2. Component Isolation
### Header
* **Title:** Chance of Successful Edit Given $\ge n$ Failed Edits
### Main Chart Area
* **Y-Axis Label:** Probability
* **Y-Axis Markers:** 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8
* **X-Axis Label:** # of Consecutive Failed Edits
* **X-Axis Markers:** Integers from 0 to 20 (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
* **Data Series:** A single blue line with circular markers at each integer coordinate.
### Footer/Legend
* **Legend:** Not explicitly present as a separate box; the single data series is defined by the chart title.

## 3. Trend Verification and Data Extraction
### Visual Trend Analysis
The data series exhibits a **strong downward slope**, indicating a negative correlation between the number of consecutive failed edits and the probability of the next edit being successful.
* **Initial Drop:** There is a sharp decrease in probability between 0 and 1 failed edits.
* **Steady Decline:** From 1 to 8 failures, the probability decreases at a relatively constant, steep rate.
* **Plateauing:** After approximately 15 failures, the curve flattens significantly, approaching a probability near zero (asymptotic behavior).
### Data Table Reconstruction
The following values are estimated based on the spatial alignment of the blue markers against the Y-axis grid.
| # of Consecutive Failed Edits ($n$) | Estimated Probability of Success |
| :--- | :--- |
| 0 | ~0.92 |
| 1 | ~0.58 |
| 2 | ~0.51 |
| 3 | ~0.46 |
| 4 | ~0.40 |
| 5 | ~0.35 |
| 6 | ~0.30 |
| 7 | ~0.24 |
| 8 | ~0.18 |
| 9 | ~0.16 |
| 10 | ~0.13 |
| 11 | ~0.10 |
| 12 | ~0.08 |
| 13 | ~0.07 |
| 14 | ~0.06 |
| 15 | ~0.04 |
| 16 | ~0.03 |
| 17 | ~0.02 |
| 18 | ~0.02 |
| 19 | ~0.02 |
| 20 | ~0.02 |

## 4. Technical Summary
This chart illustrates the "sunk cost" or "diminishing returns" aspect of editing attempts.
* **Baseline:** With 0 prior failures, the success rate is at its peak (over 90%).
* **Critical Threshold:** Once a user has failed 4 consecutive times, the probability of success drops below 50% (tossing a coin).
* **Terminal State:** After 17 consecutive failures, the probability of success becomes negligible (approx. 2%), suggesting that further attempts after this point are statistically unlikely to result in a successful edit.
