Exercise 2:

___________________________________________________________________________
Bring to mind the following two people:

1. A college student you know personally or are aware of who is most likely to help other
people who are in need
2. A college student you know personally or are aware of who is least likely to help other
people who are in need

Scenario 1:

Imagine that students are sent an email asking them to make a donation to a week-long campus
crusade against hunger
 Type of food to bring
 Specific date and time
 Provided with a map and directions
 Received reminder call

 Under these circumstances, how likely is your “most likely person” to donate food? _______ % [A]

 Under these circumstances, how likely is your “least likely person” to donate food? ________ % [B]

Scenario 2:

Now imagine that students are sent an email asking them to make a donation to a week-long
campus crusade against hunger, but they are
 NOT told type of food to bring
 NOT told specific date and time
 NOT provided with a map and directions
 NO reminder call

 Under these circumstances, how likely is your “most likely person” to donate food? _______ % [C]

 Under these circumstances, how likely is your “least likely person” to donate food? _______ % [D]

Now let’s do some math:

 What is the difference between A and B (A-B)? __________ [E]

 What is the difference between C and D (C-D)? __________ [F]

 What is the average of E and F? __________ [G]

 What is the difference between A and C (A-C)? __________ [H]

 What is the difference between B and D (B-D)? __________ [I]

 What is the average of H and I? __________ [J]
