Describe a situation in which a reversal of preference would likely occur
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: When asked to choose between a high-probability event (e.g., 8/9 chance of winning $4; otherwise nothing) and a large return event (e.g., 1/9 chance of winning $40; otherwise nothing) research participants tend to choose the high-probability event. However, if participants assumed that they owned the rights to the events and were then asked to sell the events, they requested a higher amount for the large return event. [This example is based on the one used in the text. Students can vary from this but should include a high-probability event versus a high-return event.]
