The book Risk Savvy by Gerd Gigerenzer has a chapter that does a good job of covering these.

Gerd Gigerenzer has a book that's a useful discussion of why presenting risks as percentages is bad.

Gerd Gigerenzer asks roughly similar questions of a wide range of people - mostly medical professionals.

Gerd Gigerenzer wrote a book in 2002 about clinicians inability to understand percentages and screening tests.

Gerd Gigerenzer has a nice book, Reckoning with Risk, where he explains with many examples the problems of this approach.

Yes, those are appropriate (although Gigerenzer and Cummings both have other relevant publications on the topic).

There are studies (Eddy 1982; Gigerenzer and Hoffrage 1995) that show only a small percent of physicians understand even basic statistics.

Gerd Gigerenzer has a nice book about the way risk is communicated.

But off the top of my head consider Gigerenzer and Cummings.

See Casscells, Schoenberger, and Grayboys 1978; Eddy 1982; Gigerenzer and Hoffrage 1995; and many other studies.

Gerd Gigerenzer has a book explainin it better than I do.

Thanks, I hope you find Gigerenzer useful.

See, for example, Gerd Gigerenzer's book "Reckoning With Risk" where clinicians are asked to interpret some stats and they fail hard.

For those following along at home Gigerenzer is, I think, "Mindless Statistics"[1] and Cummings is "The New Statistics"[2].

You might enjoy Gigerenzer's "Bias bias" paper.

I think you may be talking about "Mindless statistics" by Gigerenzer.

For more on this, refer to Gerd Gigerenzer's Risk Savvy: How to Make Good Decisions.

Some Context on the Cognitive Science: We built this on decades of research from Kahneman, Tversky, Gigerenzer, and others.
