Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Human beings have a tendency to selectively collect or remember information, or to interpret it skewed in order to confirm their own beliefs. Cherry-picking of evidence basically consists of choosing the part of the data that gives you the reason, to confirm a certain position, ignoring that evidence that may be different or contrary to the proposition that is being defended. Sasha used this fallacy to confirm her position about being a nice person.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

The ability to learn from one's experiences, acquire knowledge, and use resources effectively when faced with challenges or problems is the psychologist's working definition of <u> "intelligence".</u>

Intelligence refers to the ability or capacity to gain from one's experiences, to get knowledge, and to utilize assets viably in adjusting to new circumstances or taking care of issues. There is contradiction on precisely what is implied by the term intelligence. Spearman proposed a general intelligence dimension, marked the g factor, and another component of specific intelligence alluded to as the s factor. Gardner suggested that no less than nine various types of intelligence exist and Sternberg proposed the triarchic theory of  intelligence . Binet built up the principal formal test for intelligence so as to help distinguish youngsters needing remedial education.

Why did the little rock nine happen
Andrews [41]

Arlecino [84]

Answer: He did not identify a spurious relationship.

A spurious relationship is one where two variables are not causally connected to each other, but may be inferred that they are because of their simultaneous appearance and a similar behaviour. These two variables are only linked with each other by coincidence, or through a third variable.

In this case, the mayor assumes that the implementation of the new regulations caused the crime rate to go down, when in fact there is a third variable (weather) that was the true cause.

In other words, the mayor equated correlation with causation. This is a common mistake in economics due to the inability of economists to perform experiments, having to rely solely on statistical analysis. In order to be aware of this mistake, it is good to remember the motto "<u>correlation is not causation</u>."
