What is a hypothesis in statistics and probability?

A statistical hypothesis is an assumption about a population parameter. This assumption may or may not be true. Hypothesis testing refers to the formal procedures used by statisticians to accept or reject statistical hypotheses.

Is Gigerenzer right about statistical literacy?

Rather he proposes a much-neglected framework by prominent academics themselves. More fundamentally, Gigerenzer is right to imply that those who reap the costs and consequences of commercial agendas can be an even better position to assess risk if given a little statistical literacy training. Well, that is great.

Do you find Gigerenzer’s argument convincing?

I find Gigerenzer quite convincing. Declarations that people are “irrational” are usually based on comparisons to some simplistic notion of what is “rational” in some greatly simplified academic example. Often, just a little thought is enough to show that the “rational” benchmark is woefully naive.

What if Gigerenzer had restructured his article differently?

I was contemplating that if Gigerenzer had restructured his article differently, to provide examples where the resort to explicating cognitive biases has resulted in mitigating damages and avoiding culpability, the article would have been a blockbuster.
