Assessing Chances

Synopsis: Continues the presentation of decision analysis by looking at biases commonly exhibited by people when they assess chances. A group of hospital staff respond to light-hearted questions and their answers are analysed to expose several different kinds of common bias. Explanations for the biases are suggested and there is discussion of the role of feedback in enabling people to counter their own biases. Discussions and expositions are set in the context of a discourse between a judgment analyst and a doctor.

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
