PREPARING FOR THE TEST
At the prompt, select the test format you'd like: 25, 50, or 100 cards. A display
of the five types of cards (circle, square, cross, wavy lines, and cross) will
show on your screen -- decide which one you feel (or know, for those with ESP
must be saying) will be next. Type the number of which one you have selected at
the prompt, and the result -- a match, or what the correct one was -- will be
shown. A calculation of the correct/attempts made, the percentage correct so far,
and the probability will be displayed to you.
The percentage is a simple calculation of the number correct, divided by the
attempts made, multiplied by 100 to give the percentage: correct/attempts*100.
The calculation of probability is more complicated. Probability is defined as
the following equation:
r (n - r) n! r (n-r)
1 - C(n,r)p q which expands to 1 - ---------- p q
r!(n - r)!
For this test, the probability equation is:
n = attempts, r = correct
r (n - r)
n! 1 4
1 - ---------- * --- * ---
r!(n - r)! 5 5
So, if you guess five times and get it correct once, it works out to:
(5 - 1)
5! 1 4 5*4*3*2*1 1 4*4*4*4
1 - --------- * --- * --- = 1 - --------- * --- * -------- = .6004
1!(5-1)! 5 5 4*3*2*1 5 5*5*5*5
Consult your local astrological table, make sure you're awake, and good luck!
