A professional astrologer has prepared horoscopes of 83 adults.
Each
adult was shown three horoscopes, one of which was the one the
astrologer prepared for them
while the other two were randomly chosen from those belonging to
the other subjects. Each
adult had to guess which of the three horoscopes was their's. The
astrologer claims that the
probability of correct prediction (say, p) is higher than that
corresponding to mere guessing.
Of the 83 subjects, 28 guessed their horoscope correctly.
Suppose you construct a 99% confidence interval of p, the
probability of
guessing the right horoscope. This interval will contain the null
value of p0 = 1/3.
A. True
B. False
