Look at the following two statements:

a. Which would you prefer: a 50 per cent chance of winning €150 or a 50 per cent chance of winning €100?

b. Would you prefer a decision that guarantees a €100 loss, or would you rather take a gamble where the chance of winning €50 was rated at 50 per cent but the chance of losing €200 was rated also at 50 per cent?

What would your choice be in a?

What would your choice be in b?
