Answer:The representativeness heuristic

Explanation:

When we want to make our case or make a decision but we don't have enough resources available to us or enough information we take a short cut and we use our pre-existing information to make judgements.

The representativeness heuristic is when we make estimations based on the likelihood that the current event can relate to our pre-existing infomation.

For example this defense attorney uses what he already knows about his client to make assumptions that represent what he doesn't know for sure about him. A defense attorney emphasizes to a jury that her client works full-time, supports his family, and enjoys leisure-time hobbies. Using this existing information the attorney has then concluded that this means his client is a typical member of the community ; which may not be true but he used what was available information to try and convince the case in his client's favor.

puteri [66]

Answer: alternative D.

Explanation: Dr. DeVries should choose his sample population randomly in order for his research to be representative, even having a specific population, which is high school seniors, that he wants to study. By <u>choosing specifically students from an exclusive college preparatory school, he isn't considering how students from other schools might perform in his research test</u>. This would be a very important step for him to understand how the practice in problem solving affects the ability related to it. Otherwise, he will have a distorted result.

Do you think Hammurabi code was too severe? why or why not ( write one paragraph state your opinion and provide three reasons )
taurus [48]
I think some parts of Hammurabi's code were too severe. I believe this because sometimes it affected innocent people. Some occasions of this are when a man's son is killed because of the father building something faulty. Sometimes it is fair though such as when a man who is too lazy to fix his dam causes it to flood and he has to pay for the crops lost in the flood.
