To calculate: The number of times a person who claims to have ESP should get right the right symbol to convince that ESP actually exists.
The number of times a person who claims to have ESP should get right the right symbol to convince that ESP actually exists is more than 25.
Given:
There are four cars with different symbols (a circle, a square, a triangle, and an X).
Total number of trials
Concept used:
The expected value of a binomial distribution with parameters n, the total number of trails and p the probability of success is calculated using the formula
Calculation:
The total number of symbols of cards
The total number of trials
The distribution of the number of times the correct symbol of cards is predicted follows a binomial distribution with parameters
The expected value
Explanation:In order to convince one that the person actually has ESP one has to identify the correct symbol more than the expected number of times. Thus a person has to get it right more than 25 times
