GLP and math questions on a saturday night! | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 4041709  United States05/13/2012 09:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Whatever, but the difference between .10 and a 1.10 is still a dollar. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9540311 I know the difference between a 1.00 and .10 is .90. The question states the bat costs exactly 1.00 more than the ball not 1.05. So I read this question is an experiment out of MIT. What if it's an experiment within a larger experiment to see if people can be forced to deny that which is blatantly true under peer pressure and invalidation. As the other poster said, bullshit opfusacation. And no, I don't bank with BOA, I've been with my local credit union for a few years now. You are so dumb you think you are smart by thinking this is a conspiracy. You fail SO badly it is HILARIOUS  |
saros136 User ID: 15930766 United States05/13/2012 09:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A lot of people get this wrong. Shane Fredrick at MIT used this very question. Fredrick posed this question to more than 3,000 students at eight different universities. Fewer than half gave the correct answer (5 cents). What did the rest say? You guessed it — 10 cents. That's the answer most people think of first, and which only some of them recognize as wrong. Although Frederick admits thinking “10 cents” when he first saw the problem, he was still stunned by how many people actually stayed with that as their “final answer.” [link to mitsloan.mit.edu] |
