1. Consider a simple task like hitting a target with a ball or answering movie trivia questions, and two identifiable groups in your classroom (men vs.

women, tall vs. short, alphabetical order of the last name, etc.).11 Design a simple experiment to

(a) measure each person’s assessment of relative ability at the task,

(b) measure each person’s actual ability,

(c) measure the average level of overconfidence in the class, and

(d) determine which of the two groups is more overconfident for this task.
