But the solution he and many policymakers propose -- choice and competition -- is certainly no more likely, and very possibly less likely, to provide equal educational opportunity than smart investments in neighborhood public schools.
However, basic statistics predicts that events at the exact ends are very much less likely, than the same events occurring somewhere in between.
After adjustment for predisposing, access- and health-related factors, current smokers were very slightly less likely to have claimed Medicare benefit than never smokers.
A number of studies now confirm that the CSIs rofecoxib and celecoxib are very much less likely than conventional NSAIDs to be associated with hypersensitivity reactions in patients with known hypersensitivity to aspirin [ 22- 24].
South Asian women were very much less likely to recognise five or more non-lump symptoms of breast cancer than white women and this was highly statistically significant (Table 2).

Patients with colonic cancer were very significantly less likely to receive any treatment if they came from any but the most affluent area (ORs 0.639, 0.603 and 0.544 in increasingly deprived quartiles), this may have been exacerbated if the hospital was distant from their residence (OR for forth quartile for both travel and deprivation 0.731, not significant).
Prospect theory also claims that people regularly miscalculate probabilities: they assume that outcomes which are very probable are less likely than they really are, that outcomes which are quite unlikely are more likely than they are, and that extremely improbable, but still possible, outcomes have no chance at all of happening.
