Gee..a fail is a fail..What about a fail needs to be calculated?..ArtIt is just that he is being way to vague on how procedure was run... If he gives details better on what happens after a fail, I can calculate the probability better.
Well are read below on the vaugeness.
Here is the scenario, 12 holes, 18 inches deep, were angered 20 feet apart in a semi circle. The MFD was placed in the center. 8 seperate double blind tests were conducted on detecting 11 Gold Krugerrands, or a chunk of Silver, by a proclaimed expert, of which 6 tests of the 8, were reported by the sponsors to be accurate.
Ok so 12 holes are made. 8 tests were conducted. They used 11 south african gold coins or a piece of silver. What one is it? 11 coins or one piece of silver? Or was it 4 tests with coins and 4 with silver. Second where the 11 coins all in one hole, where they put into many holes
We cannot assume that they were all in one or seperated out. So in reality if the coins were in 1 hole than my calculations hold, but if they were scattered among the holes the probability could range from 1/12 (all in one hole) to 11/12. Each time increasing the posibility of a success.
