  • run syntax

How to perform a chi squared test in spss?

What happens when someone commits the base rate fallacy?

  • 75% of cats are black
  • 45% of rats are black
  • rex is black
  • so rex is probably a rat
  • the amount of rats overal is way more than the amount of cats, so the chance of rex being a rat is bigger than the chance of rex being a cat, given that he's black
