Abstract
In the article "The Effect of Sample Size and Cognitive Strategy on Probability Estimation Bias," by Hanan Shteingart and Yonatan Loewenstein (Decision, Advance online publication. February 9, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/dec0000027), there was an error in the second paragraph of page 4. In the equation for the case of n = 2, the following sentence was incorrectly set, "Therefore, underweighting of rare events is more likely if and only if (1-p)2<.5, which implies that p<1-1/√2~0.3." It should have read, "Therefore, underweighting of rare events is more likely if and only if (1-p)2>.5, which implies that p<1-1/√2~0.3".
