  38. Telepathic or just pathetic?Analysis • Listen carefully as the cards that were transmitted are read out in order • Mark each one as correct (or not) and add up how many transmissions you correctly received

  39. Telepathic or just pathetic?Analysis • Based on samples of 30 from a population with p = 0.2 • Using the binomial distribution • Setting limits for sample proportions based on the population proportion

  40. Telepathic or just pathetic?Conclusion • Are you telepathic? Explain your answer using statistics. • Do you have any concerns about the design of the experiment?
