   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
   probability under the null hypothesis is p = 4.8x10-4 ).
   We thus conclude from this part of the study that of the'six sub-
   jects tested, one subject 02) 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
                                                     -5
   whose a priori probability under the null hypothesis is p = 1.lxlO
