BTW, significant data was withheld in the examples given :
a) how many dips do you get at the jellybeans ? Do the red ones taste better ? What is their market value with the current weak dollar ?
b) 10,000 people overall or 10,000 infected people ? Degree of infectiousness of the disease ?
But that’s what the affect heuristic is for : taking decisions in situations of incomplete data. 150 people is a single bounded set, 98% of x people sounds as though it just might be a replicable set. Go for it.
