(1 point) A man claims to have extrasensory perception (ESP). As a test, a fair coin is flipped 3030 times, and the man is asked to predict the outcome in advance. He gets 2424 out of 3030 correct. What is the probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP? Hint: If he has no ESP, then he's just randomly guessing, right? If he is randomly guessing, what should you use as pp, the chance of success for each individual trial?

Probability of doing at least this well =

In a test for ESP (extrasensory perception), the experimenter looks at cards that are hidden from the subject. Each card contains either a star, a circle, a wave, or a square. As the experimenter looks at each of 20 cards in turn, the subject names the shape on the card. (a) (3pts) Suppose a subject simply guesses the shape on each card, independently from card to card. What is the probability that he guesses correctly the shape on exactly 5...

In an experiment in extrasensory perception (ESP), a subject in one room is asked to state the color (red or blue) of a card chosen from a deck of 50 well-shuffled cards by an individual in another room. It is unknown to the subject how many red or blue cards are in the deck. a.) What are your null and alternate hypotheses in this case? b.) If the subject identifies 32 cards correctly, determine the chances of each hypothesis being...

Design a program using Raptor Flowcharts that tests your ESP, or extrasensory perception. The program will randomly pick a color from Red, Green, Blue, Orange, Yellow, and Purple, and you will be asked to predict the program's selection before it is revealed. The program should ask the user to enter the color the computer has selected. The program should ensure user enters only one of the six colors. After user has entered his or her guess, the program should display...

Subjects tested for ESP (extrasensory perception) are presented one of five types of cards, “circle”, “plus”,”wavy lines”, “square” and “star”. The type of card is hidden from the subject, and the subject attempts to use “psychic powers” to determine the card. (https://psychicscience.org/esp3) The test we are conducting is ?0 : ? = 0.20 vs. ??: ? ≠ 0.20 . Note that a person without ESP (that is, a “random guesser”) would be characterized at having ? = 0.20. Someone with...

(10) 2. ESP (extra sensory perception) is the ability to read minds. We have a set of cards with each card having one of 5 shapes on them (square, rectangle, triangle, circle, question mark) and there are an equal number of each shape in the deck. We are going to select one card from the deck, stare at it and then there is a guy who claims he has ESP who is going to guess at the shape on the...

- Your friend claims he has a fair coin; that is, the probability of flipping heads or tails is equal to 0.5. You believe the coin is weighted. Suppose a coin toss turns up 15 heads out of 20 trials. At α = 0.05, can we conclude that the coin is fair (i.e., the probability of flipping heads is 0.5)? You may use the traditional method or P-value method.

1. One researcher believes a coin is “fair,” the other believes the coin is biased toward heads. The coin is tossed 21 times, yielding 16 heads. Indicate whether or not the first researcher’s position is supported by the results. Use α = .05. 2. Design a decision rule to test the hypothesis that a coin is fair if a sample of 64 tosses of the coin is taken and if a level of significance of (a) .05 and (b) .01...
