Question

The fact that we hear about examples of individual airplane crashes on news more often than we hear about automobile crashes may lead us to believe that we are more likely to die in a plane than a car. This is an example of:

a. attention bias.
b. the simulation heuristic.
c. the availability heuristic.
d. the representativeness heuristic.

Answer 1

A. Attention bias.
The news pays more attention to the plane crash so you don’t think about all the car crashes
