In the "jelly-bean study" , subjects chose between two bowls from which to draw one bean in a lottery-like game. One bowl contained 10 beans (including one "winner"); the other contained 100 beans (10 winners). The results of these studies showed that a.most subjects preferred the "small" bowl (because it contains fewer "losers") b.most subjects preferred the "large" bowl (because it contains more "winners") c.subjects were evenly divided between the bowls (because the probabilities are the same) d.most subjects were happy to switch choices when offered a quarter to do so

The result of the above "jelly-bean study" shows the equality of both bowl of beans. One bowl may contain 1 winner and 9 losers whereas another bowl has 10 winners and 90 losers but the percentage of both the bowl is the same i.e. 10% winner and 90% loser. The probabilities of the portion is same. Most subjects may prepare to choose the small one or the big one because of the number of winners or losers or when offered comes may happy to switch the choices but the result of the show both the bowl contains the equal probabilities.The correct answer is option no. - c. subjects were evenly divided between the bowls.
