Document Summary
Come here first: spotted in a safari park: elephants please stay in your car, panda mating fails; veterinarian takes over. Language and memory: tricks with retrieval: aspects of memory: retrieval, moses didn"t have an ark noah did! Joshua wasn"t swallowed by a whale: jonah was! If program b is adopted, there is a 1/3 probability that 600 people will be saved, and 2/3 probability that no people will be saved. Imagine that santa cruz is preparing for the outbreak of an unusual disease, which is expected to kill 600 people. Two alternative programs to combat the disease have been proposed. Assume that the exact scientific estimate of the consequences of the programs are as follows: If program c is adopted, 400 people will die. If program d is adopted, there is a 1/3 probability that nobody will die, and 2/3 probability that 600 people will die. If program a is adopted, 200 people will be saved.
