I need help with four multiple choice questions for my psychology class. There is only one correct answer for each question. The list of question is below, thanks!
1) Which of the following people is most likely to decide that he or she genuinely enjoyed a very boring task?
--Alvin, who was paid $1 to tell another person that the task was enjoyable. --Simon, who was paid $20 to tell another person that the task was enjoyable. --Theodore, who was not asked to talk about the task to anyone at all. --There is no basis for saying that any of these people is more or less likely than the others to decide that the task was enjoyable.
2) Schizophrenia affects about 1% of the population. Imagine that scientists discover a simple blood test that can tell with 95% accuracy whether a person will develop schizophrenia. That is, 95% of the people who actually will develop schizophrenia will correctly test positive (but 5% will falsely test negative), and 95% of the people who actually will never develop schizophrenia will correctly test negative (but 5% will falsely test positive).
You take the test and the results come back positive. What is the approximate probability that you will actually develop schizophrenia?
--95%--90%--50% (either you will develop it or you won't; the test results are irrelevant)--17%--10%--5%

3) Most psychologists agree that the two fundamental processes that are responsible for changes in our opinions and attitudes are
--cognitive dissonance and probabilistic reasoning. --probabilistic reasoning and testimonial evidence. --probabilistic reasoning and persuasion. --cognitive dissonance and persuasion.
4) The biggest problem with probabilistic reasoning is that:--information that is stated in terms of probabilities is too vague to be useful. --scientific principles must be stated as precise laws, not in terms of probabilities. --probabilities are really nothing more than guesses. --many people have great difficulty dealing with probabilistic information.
