Are risk-averse people more likely to order their steak well-done? A survey was conducted that asked individuals a series of questions about risk and how the individual prefers their steak (if at all). In particular, one question asked respondents, "Consider the following hypothetical situations: In Lottery A, you have a 50 percent chance of success, with a payout of $100. In Lottery B, you have a 90 percent chance of success, with a payout of $20. Assuming you have $10 to bet, would you play Lottery A or Lottery B?" Raw data from 412 American steak eaters are presented in our StatCrunch Group. The data set is called "Steak Preference."
