The passage around this formula
≈ 0.0086 , well under one percentage point. The paper’s own forty-percent threshold sits 0.40 - 0.3333 0.0667 above that null mean, which is z 7.75 standard deviations out — a one-sided tail probability, by the normal approximation to the binomial (valid here since n 667 , far above the usual rule-of-thumb minimum), of roughly 4.7 10^{-15} . At three thousand trials per dataset, in other words, a…
