Availability heuristics strategy of decision making allows a human to use a mental shortcut using past experiences and examples that come to mind when trying to evaluate a particular concept, topic, decision, or method. For the case of Sue, she uses her past experiences to make a decision in this case. It is possible that when similar situation of two kids going to the movies at the same time, something bad happened. She uses this experience to judge her present situation.
D is the correct answer!!
Extraneous
An <em>extraneous variable</em> is a variable in an experiment that you are not intentionally studying. These variables usually provide undesired affects on the experiment.
In this example, the independent variable is whether a sentence is humorous or not, and the dependent variable is the memory performance score. However, because the humorous sentences are only given to males, and the non-humorous sentences are only given to females, gender becomes an extraneous variable as you are not intentionally testing gender's relation to the dependent variable, but it is still affecting the experiment.
We show that municipalities that are exogenously exposed to the Drug War experience a 40% decrease in export growth on the intensive margin. Large exporters suffer larger effects, along with exports of more complex, capital intensive, and skill intensive products. Finally, using firm level data, we provide evidence consistent with violence increasing marginal exporting costs.
