, If you pick one of these balls without looking, how likely it is that you will pick the red ball?" -variable named "red ball" below. Two nested questions were also asked: 2, Imagine I have 5 balls, one of which is red and four of which are blue

, The variable called "nested" takes value 1 if the individual gave consistent answers to above two questions

. Finally, How likely do you think it is that you will go out of the house for any reason in the next month?" -variable named "outside" below. This question turned out to be misleading, while we meant outside the house

, How likely is it that Christmas will fall in the month of June?" -variable named "christmas" below
