Yes, the effects of aspirin are "well-established" because the studies involve far larger samples. 100 people being shown 12 erotic images does not put this on the same scale.
1200 images, 636 guessed "correctly", binomial distribution has variance np(1-p) =300, sd = sqrt(300)~17.
So this particular result is just outside 2 standard deviations from the mean. Woop-tee-do, get off my HN front page.
And no, it is 100 people, not 1000: http://www.dbem.ws/FeelingFuture.pdf http://www.dbem.ws/FeelingFuture.pdf
- ynniv 16y agoThe article says 1,000 people. That is still relatively small, but your dismissal is less persuasive when you are incorrect by an order of magnitude.
