Detailed explanation-1: -The representativeness heuristic occurs when we estimate the probability of an event based on how similar it is to a known situation. In other words, we compare it to a situation, prototype, or stereotype we already have in mind.
Detailed explanation-2: -The availability heuristic refers to the tendency to assess the probability of an event based on the ease with which instances of that event come to mind.
Detailed explanation-3: -Representativeness heuristics are biased judgments made in everyday life. An example of a representativeness heuristic is thinking that because someone is wearing a suit and tie and carrying a briefcase, that they must be a lawyer, because they look like the stereotype of a lawyer.
