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
