Quiz: How good is your intuitive feel for basic statistics?

These questions comes from Daniel Kahneman’s book, Thinking: Fast and Slow:

  1. An individual has been described by a neighbor as follows: “Steve is very shy and withdrawn, invariable helpful but with little interest in people or in the world of reality. A meek and tidy soul, he has a need for order and structure, and a passion for detail.” Is Steven more likely to be a librarian or a farmer? (p 7)
  2. Consider the letter K. Is K more likely to appear as the first letter in a word or as the third letter? (p 7)
