a ESP test (statistical problem)



A ESP test (extra sensory perception) is carried like this:
>From a deck of cards were chosen 5 cards. These cards were seen by both the
conductor of the experiment and a person. The cards were laid on the table
with the back side upwards in such a way that only the conductor of the
experiment knew the sequence of the cards. The conductor chosed a card and
the person should then say which card it was. In a sequence of 100
experiments the person answered correctly 37 times.
Is there reason to believe that this person has special supernatural powers?
