| Abstract: | Do people take into account information about sample size in statistical reasoning tasks? The authors argue that Bernoulli's assertion that the intuitions of 'even the stupidest man' follow the empirical law of large numbers may have been rather on the optimistic side, but in general the intuitions of the vast majority of people do. |
