Answer:

b. The availability heuristic

Explanation:

In psychology, the term <u>availability heuristic </u>refers to the tendency that people have to rely on immediate examples (usually close to them) when they have to evaluate a broader topic or concept. In other words, people make judgements based on specific examples that come to their mind.

In this example, two of Mariah's friends lost their jobs. Now Mariah is grossly overestimating the national unemployment rate. We can see that <u>Mariah is relying on immediate examples like what just happened to her two best friends to form an opinion on the national unemployment rate. </u>Therefore, this would be an example of availability heuristic.

bazaltina [42]

Paper currency or banknotes are pieces of paper that carry a payment promise for the currency written on them and which is payable to the bearer on demand.

Nowadays, its value is fiduciary, it is not backed by any physical good of the same value.

Merchants could travel for a longer time carrying their profits with them on the way and became more efficient in their businesses.
