Show summary

In an experiment, subjects were shown a series of images on a computer screen, appearing usually at the top but occasionally at the bottom. ████████ ████ █████ ██ █████ ████ ████ █████ ███ ████ █████ █████ ██████ ██ ███ ███████ ████ ███████ █████████ ████ ████ ████ ██ ███ █████ ███ ████████ ███ ████████ ████ ████ █████ █████ ███████ ██ ████████ ████ ████████ ████ ███ ██ ███ █████████ ████████ ██ ████ ███ ██████ ███████ ████ ███ ████ █████ █████ ██████ ██████ ██ ███ ████ ████ █████ ████ ████ ███████ ████ ██ ███ █████

Summary

Images shown to subjects in an experiment usually showed up at the top of the screen but sometimes showed up at the bottom.

When asked to guess where the next image would appear, the subjects were correct less than half of the time.

Their guesses were based on patterns they thought they saw.

If they always guessed that the image would show up at the top, they would guess correctly most of the time.

Notable Valid Inferences

The images showed up at the top of the screen over 50% of the time.
