The first group of participants were presented with a choice between programs: In a group of 600 people, • Program A: "200 people will be saved" • Program B: "there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved, and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved" • 72 percent of participants preferred program A (the remainder, 28 percent, opting for program B). • The second group of participants were presented with the choice between: In a group of 600 people, • Program C: "400 people will die" • Program D: "there is a one-third probability that nobody will die, and a two-third probability that 600 people will die" • 78 percent preferred program D, with the remaining 22 percent opting for program C.
