Question:

The “psychic staring effect”: Can you sense when someone is staring at you? Pair off students and conduct an experiment to test this effect. For each pair of students, one student is the subject being stared at, and the other is the student who does (or does not) stare and cannot be seen by the subject. Each pair of students should conduct ten trials in which some of the trials involve staring and the others do not. In each trial, the subject must identify whether staring is occurring. Select the trials using random selection, such as tossing a coin to determine when staring is used. Combine all of the results and use them to test the claim that the proportion of correct responses by the subjects is p = 0.5, which corresponds to random guesses. What do you conclude about the psychic staring effect?
