According to Neumann - Morgenstern

What does the Allais Paradox describes?

Decision2: Choose between (C) a 20% chance of $4000; (D) a 25% chance of $3000.

Which axiom is violated?

unsufficient description of human behavior towards risk.

B over A; C over D --> result violates the substitution axiom (= common ration effect)
