Some of these ideas may be new to you, although some have become quite popular, such as the idea of reincarnation. Besides defining a belief system, these ideas also carry into Hindu law and rites of passage.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Mandy, a true believer in astrology, reads in her horoscope that today is her lucky day. She gets so excited that she spills coffee all over herself, necessitating a change of clothes. As a result, she is late for work and for a very important meeting, which in turn gets her into serious trouble with her boss. That evening, her brother is taken to the emergency room. On her way to visit him, Mandy finds a dime in the hospital parking lot. What does research on the confirmation bias suggest that Mandy will do?
A) Mandy will renounce astrology as completely wrong because of all the horrible things that happened on her "lucky day."
B) Mandy will begin to question her belief in astrology because of all the horrible things that happened on her "lucky day."
C) Mandy will forget finding the dime because of the all the horrible things that happened to her.
D) Mandy will seize on the dime she found as evidence of astrology’s accuracy.
Answer:
D) Mandy will seize on the dime she found as evidence of astrology’s accuracy.
Explanation:
In psychology, confirmation bias refers to our tendency to look for things and signs that will confirm what we already believe in. According to research in this area, we are biased in our beliefs and tend to ignore any information that may challenge them. As a result, our judgment will be degraded. Mandy will most likely, according to confirmation bias, ignore all of the bad things that took place after she read her horoscope. She will pay attention, however, to the one tiny event that somehow confirms her belief. She will seize on the dime she found as evidence of astrology's accuracy.
The following statements describe accurately the terms of this mortgage:
-"The monthly interest rate is 4 percent". This means that each month, the owner will have to pay the normal fee plus 4% of it.
-"Monthly payments must be for 30 years". This means that the owner will have to make a payment every month for 30 years in order to pay their debt.
-"The homeowner is borrowing $200.000". This is the amount of money the homeowner is borrowing from the bank or company, which they will pay by making monthly payments for 30 years.
The other three statements do not describe the terms of the mortgage as they misunderstand the details.
-Payments must be made for 30 years, with 12 months each year, it makes it 360 payments in total. Not monthly payments for 360 years and the homeowner is not borrowing $360.000 either.
-The annual interest rate is not 4.8% . The correct way to find this value is by taking into account days and months, which would make it be around 60%.
When blood doping, it creates more red blood cells which carry oxygen to generally create ATP so in that case there would be more oxygen absorbed by a athlete blood doping than a athlete that is not due to the fact of the increase of red blood cells.
The researchers present unshelled northern and southern periwinkles to northern and southern crabs in the second experiment to test if either population of periwinkles was unpalatable to either population of crabs.
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
The researchers picked up crabs and periwinkles from the northern and the southern location of Gulf of Maine. Then an individual crab was inserted into hutch companied with 8 size variable periwinkles. Following four set-ups were organized, where crabs involved were of both gender but not size variable and these set-ups were analyzed 12-14 times:
- Northern crab and periwinkles
- Southern crab and periwinkles
- Northern crab and southern periwinkles
- Southern crab and northern periwinkles
After three days of experiment conclusion drawn was: southern crab killed more number of northern periwinkles when compared with rest three set-ups. While second is northern crab and northern periwinkles, third is southern crab and periwinkles and fourth is northern crab and southern periwinkles.
Now, same set-ups as above was organized but with unshelled northern and southern periwinkles and conclusion researchers found that crabs catered themselves with all unshelled periwinkles within 1 hour to test if either periwinkles population was unpalatable to either crabs population.
