Detailed explanation-1: -The use of heuristics rather than algorithms is most likely to: save time in arriving at solutions to problems. Scientists are trained to carefully observe and record any research outcomes that are inconsistent with their hypothesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Representativeness. A popular shortcut method in problem-solving identified in behavioral economics is called representativeness heuristics. Representativeness uses mental shortcuts to make decisions based on past events or traits that are representative of or similar to the current situation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following is an advantage of the use of heuristics? A heuristic is often efficient.
Detailed explanation-4: -An algorithm is a step-wise procedure for solving a specific problem in a finite number of steps. The result (output) of an algorithm is predictable and reproducible given the same parameters (input). A heuristic is an educated guess which serves as a guide for subsequent explorations.
Detailed explanation-5: -What is the difference between a heuristic and an algorithm? An algorithm is a methodical, logical rule or procedure that guarantees solving a particular problem. A heuristic is a simple thinking strategy that allows us to make judgements and solve problems efficiently.
