Table Legend: Shown are the nine trials with 17 Yuan and varied probabilities of receiving. Assuming that the h value was between 1.05 and 0.70, the participant should have chosen the probabilistic option in the top four and the certain option from the fifth trial. However, in the sixth trial, the participant chose the probabilistic option. Thus, the consistency for this range was (4+4)/9*100 = 89%. The consistencies of the 10 bounded ranges of h values (including unbounded) were calculated and are shown in Table 2B.
