Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The availability heuristic works by prioritizing infrequent events based on recency and vividness. For example, plane crashes can make people afraid of flying. However, the likelihood of dying in a car accident is far higher than dying as a passenger on an airplane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Availability Heuristic For example, when deciding which laundry detergent to buy, you may choose Tide because it comes to mind the fastest. You might have selected another brand if you had more information available about it-you chose the one that came to mind the easiest.

Detailed explanation-3: -On plane crashes The fear-invoking headline, paired with the image of a wrecked plane wreathed in flames, leaves an easily recalled impression. This leads you to wildly overrate your chances of dying in a similar plane crash. This is the availability heuristic bias at work.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of Availability Bias Excessive coverage on the news or social media about plane crashes uses vivid images and stories to elicit an emotional response. That’s why many people develop a fear of flying-they remember those images the next time they fly.
