The goal of the assignment is to understand the concept of signal detection theory.

    1. You should describe one situation (ex. a doctor is looking at an MRI picture to diagnose if a patient has a breast cancer tumor).

        – What is a signal in this situation? (The signal should have uncertainty).

              * The signal (stimulus) should be binary cases- Presence or Absence

              * The decision (response) should be binary- Yes or No

    2. Apply the situation to SDT and describe four categories in SDT. 

              * Hit

              * False Alarm

              * Miss

              * Correct rejection

    * Find an example in your everyday life.

    * It is recommended to draw a table before writing the report. It’ll help you describe each category clearly.
