`After solving a series of mathematical problems using a complicated formula, Mark uses the same formula to solve another proble
m he could have solved using a much simpler formula. Mark's continued reliance on the complicated formula BEST illustrates which of the following? A. Confirmation bias
B. Use of the availability heuristic
C. Mental set
D. Use of means-end analysis
Explanation:A mental set is a tendency of using the same solution all over again because it has worked in the past. It is a form of a fixed thinking about resolving problems.
Due to this fixated form of thinking Marks isn't able to use simpler formula to solve his mathematics problems , this mental set is making him fixated to what has worked before.
Why Mental Sets Can Make Problem-Solving More Difficult
- This process prevents us from thinking more creatively because we keep falling back into using the same solution and we don't try new things and it prevent our kind from thinking of new ways to solve problems.
Cultural transmission is the ability to pass information on from one individual to another even across generations -- that makes us unique Learning can be done by observing what happens in the world around us, for example, by associating events that frequently occur together (or in a rapid sequence). However, human "communication" may constitute such a powerful instrument that it overrides "statistics", as observed in a study.
Cultural transmission is the one-directional way that information is given to us.
The ultimatum presented the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand -he had demanded the Serbia government a range of measures that no sovereign state could realistically have taken
All vehicles carrying passengers for hire, all buses carrying passengers and all vehicles carrying explosives or flammable liquids must always stop no closer than 15 feet and no farther than 50 feet from railroad tracks.
Explanation:
The distance stated is based on an analysis made, taking into consideration the safety of people, both in trains that will be traveling on railroad tracks and in other type of vehicles who eventually would be near crossroads. If vehicles are no closer than 15 feet from railroad tracks, there is no chance for a collision to occur. More than 50 is just an absurd and not necessary distance that is occupying importance space for other vehicles.
