2. Social science researchers have conducted extensive empirical studies
and concluded that the expression "absence makes the heart grow fonder "
is generally true.  Do you find this result surprising or not surprising?

		Surprising ____	  Not surprising ____

3. Suppose that the United States is preparing for the outbreak of an
unusual Asian disease which is expected to kill 600 people.  Two alternative 
programs to combat the disease have been proposed.  Assume that the exact 
scientific estimates of the consequences of the programs are as follows:

  If Program A is adopted, 200 people will be saved.
  If Program B is adopted, there is a 1/3 probability that 600 people will 
     be saved and a 2/3 probability that nobody will be saved.

Which of the two programs would you favor?    A ____    B ____

3. Suppose that the United States is preparing for the outbreak of an
unusual Asian disease which is expected to kill 600 people.  Two alternative 
programs to combat the disease have been proposed.  Assume that the exact 
scientific estimates of the consequences of the programs are as follows:

  If Program A is adopted, 400 people will die.
  If Program B is adopted, there is a 1/3 probability that nobody will die 
	and a 2/3 probability that 600 people will die.
