The results for this experiment show that 3 of the 5 octuplets achieved significance at the octuplet level, getting 5 or more correct out of 52 opportunities.
Furthermore, 3 of the 10 quadruplets achieve significance in their own right, with one of the octuplets showing significance for both of the quadruplets.
Applying the binomial distribution to those results, the odds of getting 3 or more significant octuplets out of 5 at probability level.05 is 0.0012; but because we are really looking at probability level.0305, the overall probability here is.0003.
