Miranda tosses a fair coin consecutively five times and gets heads each time. When her son Shane asks her about the probability

of getting tails on the next (sixth) toss, Miranda says the following: "This is a fair coin, so I should toss heads approximately 50 percent of the time. Because I have tossed heads 100 percent of the time for my first five tossed, then the probability of me tossing tails on the sixth toss must be greater than 50 percent." Miranda’s statement is an example of the ________ fallacy.

Answer: Gambler's fallacy

Explanations: Gambler's fallacy can be simply defined as a phenomenon where the outcome of an event is viewed as less or more likely due to the outcome of previous events even though each event is independent.

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%.

The socially determined behaviors expected of a person performing a role are called role performances.
liq [111]

Answer:

F

Explanation:

Lets see the statement:

The statement says "The socially determined behaviors expected of a person performing a role are called role performances"

The socially determined behaviors expected of a person performing a role is called "Role Expectation". Role expectation is how a person is expected to behave.

While how a person actually behaves is his/her role performance. Role performance is a person's own will. It doesn't always match the behaviors expected by the society.

So the given statement is false ..

The unalienable rights of United States citizens are protected by the
DedPeter [7]

Human rights in the United States comprise a series of rights which are legally protected by the Constitution of the United States, including the amendments,[2][3] state constitutions, conferred by treaty, and enacted legislatively through Congress, state legislatures, and state referenda and citizen's initiatives. Federal courts in the United States have jurisdiction over international human rights laws as a federal question, arising under international law, which is part of the law of the United States.[4]

The human rights record of the United States of America is a complicated matter; first and foremost the Federal Government of the United States has, through a ratified constitution and amendments thereof, guaranteed unalienable rights to citizens of the country, and also to some degree, non-citizens. However, the historical evolution of these rights must be considered as well, as the periphery of the population of the United States who had access to these rights has expanded over time, and in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has not fully expanded complete rights to all human beings within its borders as compared to the international standard set by the United Nations General Assembly, because of social and political issues that stem from the history of the United States.
