You read a description about a woman named tyra, who happens to be extremely beautiful and almost six feet tall. you are asked to predict whether tyra is a model or a science teacher. to do this, you think of your prototypes of a model and a science teacher, and you decide that tyra is a model. your reasoning may be faulty due to:

(a) an algorithm.
(b) framing.
(c) the availability heuristic.
(d) the representativeness heuristic.

(D) the representativeness heuristic.

Explanation:

The representativeness heuristic is a type of rule that governs decision-making and judgement. The concept was developed in the 1970s, and it is used as a "shortcut" to make a judgement of the probability of an event under uncertainty. This occurs when people judge whether something is representative of a population or not (like Tyra being representative of models). This can lead us to a wrong conclusion because people tend to overestimate the accuracy of such a rule.
