Notes: Reported p-values give <strong>the</strong> probability from <strong>the</strong> one-tailed test that <strong>the</strong> mean of <strong>the</strong> elicitations from<br />
<strong>the</strong> distribution with more mass to <strong>the</strong> left is greater than <strong>the</strong> mean of <strong>the</strong> elicitations from <strong>the</strong> matched<br />
paired distribution with more mass to <strong>the</strong> right. Distributions 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, and 14 each appeared twice<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> 20 rounds. The tests reported here reflect only <strong>the</strong> observations when subjects submitted a<br />
valuation for a specified distribution for <strong>the</strong> last time. The symbols *, **, and *** <strong>in</strong>dicate significance at<br />
<strong>the</strong> 10%, 5%, and 1% levels respectively.
