Answer:

The correct answer is: availability heuristic

Explanation:

The availability heuristic occurs when people judges the likelyhood of an event based on how easily an example of the event comes to mind. Under the availability heuristic, people tend to base their judgement on recent information that can be easily recalled, ignoring other relevant facts.

By basing their opinions on the latest news people can overestimate the likelyhood of an event, resulting in an important bias.

Explain why correlations should always be reported with scatter diagrams
Phantasy [73]
Scatter plot diagrams are made by plotting the data plots gathered in an x-y diagram. Then, the data points are fitted to an equation. Correlations come from this made equations. They are deemed legitimate through the coefficient of correlation r-squared. If it is as high as around 0.99, then the equation is a good correlation for the behavior of the data.

What is the counterpart theodicy? what is one problem with the view?
kozerog [31]

A theodicy for some given fact about evil is an explanation for why God would have an all‐things‐considered sufficient reason to allow that evil. The counterpart theodicy relies on a metaphysical claim about existence. We cannot know what "good" is unless there is "evil" to contrast it with. (1) Doesn't justify all kinds of evil (Do we need genocide to know what goodness is?), (2) Doesn't justify the amount of evil (Do we need so much killing/theft to know what goodness is?), (3) God can know good/evil prior to creation/evil.
