Instructions for Decisions to buy a Ticket


Imagine that you have decided to see a play. As you arrive at the theater, you discover that you have lost something, which might be your ticket to the play, some cash, or the ticket and some cash. The ticket seat is not marked, so you cannot recover your ticket. Please rate how likely you would be to buy another ticket at the same price. In some cases, you had not yet purchased the ticket before the play. In those cases, just rate how likely you would be to buy a ticket and see the play.

Note that in different trials below, the cost of the ticket or the amount of money that you lost varies from trial to trial. Your task is to read each situation and judge how likely you would be to buy another ticket and attend the play.
