Answer:

The United States Congress wanted to create a "transcontinental railroad".

Explanation:

The Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862 was the way through which the United States Congress wanted to promote all aspects referring to the establishment of a "transcontinental railroad" throughout the United States. United States Congress wanted to accomplish this through the utilization of government bonds as well as the grants of the land regarding the different railroad companies.

In 1853, Congress authorized the War Department to conduct some surveys related to the five possible transcontinental routes. These routes would be from the north of Mississippi to the south. However, any route was established.

For example, If a family should give birth to (5) five boys, gambler's fallacy will argue that the chance or probability of the family giving birth to girl next higher because the previous ones were boys, but in reality the chances are thesame because both gender has equally chance of being conceived.

So Miranda’s statement is a good example of gambler's fallacy because she argue that the probability that she will toss a tail in her sixth toss is higher than 50% and in reality, the probability of tossing a head or a tail are both thesame i.e 50%.
