Unfortunately, such questions are rarely considered ; experimenters seem to hope that they are unimportant. ,o~ VOII 8'9in Members of the sample may also leU lies. ) aTe asked. In fact, if a subject guesses the correct answer or feels that a certain response is right, he or she may give It to you , regardless of whether or not it is true for him o r her. The tendency to please the experimenter and give the " right " answer is strong among human subjects, Control groups arc often used to control for any other effects that might be happening.

Unless we specify which coin is (a be "heads" or "tails," the even Is will not be independent. For the law to be applicable we must have independent events ; it is a statement about the joint occurrence of independent events. If we only specify two "tails " and a "head" but not say which . the events are no longer independent. If the first two coins are "tails," the last must be "heads"; the way the third coin must land depends on how the first two landed. Thus to calculate probabilities in this case, when we do nol have the independent events, we cann o t use the multiplication law; we have to go back to first principles, as follows, There are 2' :: 8 outcomes: HHH.

For Instance. the probability of getting a "head" when tossing a coin is 1/2 ; it can be pre· dicted in advance and is thus an a priori probability. " Because we do not know exactly how the coin was biased, we would have to throw the coin several times and see how much more often "heads" actually did come up. Probability would thu s be computed a posteriori, after the event. Further examples of a priori and a posteriori probabilities may be considered . What is the probability that a taste panel judge will pick by chance , from three samples of food , the one sample that has a slightly different navor?
