How many coins will I find?
Well that depends on how you are going about the task of finding them. Since your wife is in the house, and it's just you and the inverted cups out in the back yard.
1.) I suppose you could just go look under each cup until you find where she hid it.
2.) You walk in front of the cups, while holding your dowsing wand, and just wait for your subconscious mind to notice which cup is out of place from the last time you looked, then wait for the ideomotor response to move the rod tip over to that particular cup. Then go over, lift up the cup and retrieve the target.
or.........
3.) You could just stand in front of all the cups, and without moving, guess at which one has the target hidden under it. Then go over and check out all the cups to verify your guess.
If you execute your search according to 1.) or 2.), it is more than likely that you will find the target almost every time. And, that would be 100% success. Yippee!
However, if you execute your search according to 3.), and if you repeat the test several times, you could expect to get only Zero, One or Two Hits, about 93% of the time.
To check the math for condition 3.), just plug the variables into this standard equation, and crank away:
P = C(n,k) pk (1-p)n-k
Given 10 cups, 1 target in one of the 10 cups and you will execute the test 10 times (10 trials) then, here is what you can expect to see as results:
The Probability of Zero Hits is 0.348
The Probability of One Hit is 0.387
The Probability of Two Hits is 0.193
The Probability of Four Hits is 0.011
The Probability of Seven Hits is 8.748E-06
The Probability of Ten Hits is 1E-10
Oh, I almost forgot.... if you ever submit to a real d-b test, using your dowsing wand and your dowsing talent, you will get the same results as in condition 3.)
