Answer 1

The fact that Ilayda assumes that her professors spend their free time reading books and engaging in intellectual conversation, because the idea of them spending their time playing volleyball or visiting an amusement park does not fit in with her stereotypes of professors means that she has representational bias. Ilayda has a representation in her head how the profeessor should look like and what should he do and she makes assumptions about him based on that.
