http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clustering_illusion
Or for instance, most people say that the sequence "OXXXOXXXOXXOOOXOOXXOO" (Gilovich, 1993) is non-random, when, in fact, it has many qualities which would also appear to be desirable characteristics of what one expects to see in a "random" stream, such as having an equal number of each result and the fact that the number of adjacent results with the same outcome is equal for both possible outcomes. In sequences like this, people seem to expect to see a greater number of alternations than one would predict statistically. In fact, in a short number of trials, variability and non-random-looking "streaks" are quite probable.[/url] |

I was merely trying to show the obviousness of his question :-p, not my own capacity at using Google. |
