Detailed explanation-1: -Heuristics can be mental shortcuts that ease the cognitive load of making a decision. Examples that employ heuristics include using trial and error, a rule of thumb or an educated guess.

Detailed explanation-3: -The two main kinds of heuristics are Availability Heuristics (basing one’s assessment on prior comparable experiences, rather than judging that situation individually) and Representativeness Heuristics (basing one’s assessment on common knowledge, stereotypes, or prototypes).
