You have 165 observations of experiments in which a subject tried to guess which of 4 videos a psychic "sender" was watching in another room. Of the 165 cases, 61 resulted in successful guesses. What sort of distribution is this from? What are the sample mean and standard deviation? Compute a 95% confidence interval for the probability of a successful guess. Does this convince you of ESP? Why or why not?

Step 1
From the given information,
Total number of cases (n)=165
Number of successful guess (x)=61
a) It represents the binomial distribution.
Reason:
1. Independent trial
2. Same probability of successful guess.
Step 2
b) Probability successful guess (p)=61165
p=0.3696.
μ=np
=165×0.3696
=60.984
σ=np(1p)
=165×0.3696(10.3696)
=6.2003
C) Thus, 95% confidence interval for the p can be computed as:
CI=p±Zα×p(1p)n
=0.3696±1.96×0.3696(10.3696)165
=0.3696±0.07365
=(0.2959,0.44325)
Z value is taken from standard normmal table Z at 95% is 1.96
Hence, 95% confidence interval for the p born is 0.0.2959<p<0.44325.
