Evaluate the drafted changes
The content is entirely relevant, and expands upon what was already there. However, it isn’t clear to me where exactly this edit applies within the article.

In general, the logic is organized, but the formatting could be better. Does Aliases’ Paradox have to do with the St Petersburg Paradox? The references given don’t exactly clear this up. When making claims such as “Many people tend to make different decisions between situations,” I think the references would be best placed there, since these statements need to be backed up.

There’s only one source, so it is safe to assume the information is from there, but placing the references more precisely will clear up this.

I have some suggestions for sentence structure. The first sentence “When it is considered the paradox argued by Allais, the expected utility in the lottery is more complex.” could be phrased “The paradox argued by Allais complicates expected utility in the lottery.”

“In Situation 1, people prefer option 1-a to 1-b, and prefer 2-b to 2-a at the same time” could be phrased “People prefer option 1-a to 1-b in situation 1, and 2-b to 2-a in situation 2," just so it's clear.

Other than that, the reference is up to date and relevant. The argument laid out makes sense, and improves understanding of the topic. I would say this is an overall good addition to the article.
