Lady Tasting Tea: An Introduction.

Briefly describe what is going on in this video.

There is an experiment being proposed in this video. Record the time on the vide when the experiment is being described. What is the experimenter hoping to establish?

What were the results of the experiment? What conclusions would you draw?

Out of 8 cups of tea, how many (at a minimum) would the Lady Tasting Tea need to correcly identify for YOU to be conviced that she can actually identify if milk was poured first or if tea was poured first?

The Lady Tasting Tea is a really good guesser when asked to identify which cups had tea poured first or which cups had milk poured first. How many cups would you expect her to identify correcly?

The Lady Tasting Tea really can't identify which cups had tea poured first or which cups had milk poured first. How many cups would you expect her to identify correcly?

There are two possible competing explanations for the Lady Tasting Tea correctly identifying all 4 cups that had tea poured first and all 4 cups that had milk poured first. What are they?

If the Lady Tasting Tea really can't identify which cups had tea poured first or which cups had milk poured first, what could she do to remove her personal choice or bias to help her decide which cup is which?
