Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the first statement
  • Statement: "This is the only model of implant available."
  • Category: Neither
  • Reasoning: This statement is simply providing information about the availability of the implant model and does not frame a choice in terms of loss aversion or maintenance of the status quo.
Step 2: Identify the second statement
  • Statement: "Would you like to opt out of being an organ donor?"
  • Category: Maintenance of status quo
  • Reasoning: This statement frames the choice in a way that assumes the default is to be an organ donor, and opting out would change the status quo.
Step 3: Identify the third statement
  • Statement: "This option guarantees that 30 percent of the people will survive."
  • Category: Loss aversion
  • Reasoning: This statement emphasizes the survival rate, which can be seen as a way to avoid the loss of life, thus framing the choice in terms of loss aversion.
