statistics shows that you would probably choose the 3rd one due to the reasoning that the 3rd one (choice C) has higher probability.

I choose the top one, since it is selected by default and easier to choose. By the way, telling people to select a certain choice will really defeat any attempt to see if that is true. You might want to edit that out.

I was going to choose the 3rd one until I saw your post.

You know you've biased your poll when you included the statistic in your post.

Why did you post that? Kinda messes up the experiment doesn't it? I voted for the 5th one BTW.

Actually...statistics show that hardly anyone chooses the 2nd one.

None of the above


Oh, but they're not all identical. I mean just look one is on top, one is on the bottom. This is discrimination of those two in the middle. I want a recount.

I would have chosen one of the two in the middle. Since you the 3rd one has a higher probability, I chose the 2nd one.

3rd before i read your post.. maybe you should move your probability factor down a few lines so ppl dont see it right away and change their choice.

May be he's seeing how his information or misinformation will affect test results. Whether they are more inclined or less inclined to choose C. I don't see what he would compare the results to though.
