Dr. Lowry investigated whether fortunetellers have extrasensory perception. He obtained a random sample of 124 fortunetellers. For each one, a card was randomly selected from a wellshuffled 52-card deck and placed face down. Then the fortuneteller had to determine if the card was red or black. For each fortuneteller, Dr. Lowry recorded if he or she guessed correctly. If that person had no ESP ability, then he or she had a 50% chance of guessing correctly. Dr. Lowry found that 72 of the 124 fortunetellers (58.06%) correctly guessed the color of the card and 52 (41.94%) were wrong. The table below shows the observed and expected frequencies. The chi-square goodness-of-fit test results were χ²(1, N = 124) = 3.23, p > .05. Write a four-point interpretation.
