Each of the 3 questions has an intuitive, but incorrect answer. So even for those who got it right, you probably considered this specific wrong answer first. As compared to someone who got the right answer after looking at and rejecting the wrong one.

But before we get to the analysis, it's time to learn a bit more about yourself. We're about to do some AMAZING science together! I'm going to present you with 3 choices. Write your choice of "A" or "B" in the comments along with how many of the 1st questions you got right (e.g. "ABA2" or "BBB3"). Be honest! Let's begin. Would you rather: A $3400 this month B $3800 next month A $3400 this month $500 guaranteed B $3800 next month 15% chance to win $1M A $3400 this month $500 guaranteed LOSE $100 guaranteed B $3800 next month 15% chance to win $1M 3% change of losing $7k A $3400 this month $500 guaranteed LOSE $100 guaranteed 3% change of losing $7k. Write your answers in the comments (e.g. "AAB2"). And follow for the next video where we're going to talk about what this all means!
