well this would result in the same mask, so no, this is not effective at all

to generate a statistic you will need a starting point and therefore at least one wordlist with "real world passwords"

this is the shortened output by pack for a "real word pw list" i found while examining a spam-server used by a german "hacker", i also tried this list (plus best64.rule) against a leaked database dump for a german forum and i was able to instant crack round about 25% of the used passwords

Code:
[*]Length: [+]                        8: 30% (148307) [+]                        6: 29% (142581) [+]                        7: 19% (91284) [*]Advanced Masks: [+]              ?l?l?l?l?l?l: 12% (58189) [+]          ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l: 11% (53264) [+]              ?d?d?d?d?d?d: 09% (42067) [+]            ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l: 08% (40902) [+]          ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d: 06% (31394) snip till first mask with upper occurs [+]              ?u?l?l?l?l?l: 01% (2949) [+]    ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?l: 01% (2836) [+]        ?l?l?l?l?l?l?l?d?d: 01% (2699) [+]            ?l?l?l?d?d?d?d: 01% (2648) [+]              ?u?u?u?u?u?u: 01% (2602) [+]        ?l?l?l?l?l?d?d?d?d: 01% (2515)

as you can see, most passwords are really really simple, but as i mentioned, to get these statistic, you will need a passwordlist to start with
