The representativeness heuristic is a mental shortcut that we use when estimating probabilities. When relying on this heuristic, probabilities are evaluated by the degree to which object A is representative of class B, that is, by the degree to which A resembles B. Such reliance can lead to biased decision making. Which of the following is not a potential bias that can result from use of the representativeness heuristic? a. biases due to the retrievability of instances b. insensitivity to prior probability of outcomes c. insensitivity to sample size d. misconceptions of chance
