I don't have links handy but the gist of it is that regular people do not automatically interpret questions asked of them in a technical manner (carefully parsing AND and OR logically), but instead try to intuit the asker's intent based on context. So many of the studies concluded that the general population is unable to reason about trivial problems involving likelihood. However, when given more context about what's being asked, they absolutely can.
