988 passes). The results, shown in Table 3, indicate no significant
departure from random expectation during the successful run, and therefore,
the significant result cannot be attributed to machine malfunction.
At a later time, subject S2 was asked to repeat the entire exper-
iment, and he was able to replicate successfully a high mean scoring
rate (27.88/100 average over 2500 trials, a result whose a priori
-4
probability under the null hypothesis is p = 4.8x10 ).
We thus conclude from this part of the study that of the 'six sub-
jects tested, one subject (S2) generated a significant result replicable
and not attributable to machine malfunction.
Finally, the study taken as a whole (15,750 trials) was significant,
yielding an average scoring rate 26.47 hits/100 trials, a result

whose a priori probability under the null hypothesis is p = 1.lxlO

For S2's first run, with Pi = 1/4, P(k,k) = 0.2936, and an average of
30 seconds per choice, we have a source uncertainty I1(x) = 2 bits and a
