Summary

This study was designed to determine the frequency with which a critical event would be predicted as a function of the relative frequency of occurrence of that event and the number of alternative events. In earlier studies with a single alternative event, it was found that relative frequencies of predictions tended to asymptote at levels near the relative frequency of occurrence of the critical event.
