Prоblem 3 (14 pоints) In Hick’s experiments оn choice-reаction time, he presented eаch pаrticipant with a fixed set of lights, each with a corresponding button. Every 5 seconds, a light would turn on at random, and Hick measured the time it took for participants to push the button associated with the light. He did this for different numbers of lights (2-10 lights). a) Calculate the expected information potential (H) of a 2 light setup, a 4 light setup, and a 10 light setup, assuming that each light has an equally likely chance of turning on. Which of these setups has the highest information content? Provide the H for each light setup and state which setup has the highest information content. Show your work by providing the equation(s) used. (4 pts) b) Hyman was interested in whether the reaction time was due to the number of lights or the amount of information, so he manipulated the probabilities that each of the lights would turn on, but kept the total number of lights fixed. For the two 4 light setups below, calculate H. Which setup has the highest information content and how does it compared to the 4 light setup from part A? Type in the final answers (H for each setup, and comparison to part A) in the box below and show your work by providing the equations used.
