The Daily Decision-15-Conjunction fallacy ... when is 2 less than 1?
The Daily Decision-15-Conjunction fallacy Hello Hello This is Dr. Z, Zachary Brooks, with The Daily Decision because you want to make better decisions. M4A MP3 Today is the FIFTEENTH episode of The Daily Decision Linda is 31 years old, single, outspoken, and very bright. When she was in college, she majored in philosophy. As a student, she was deeply concerned with issues of discrimination and social justice, and also participated in progressive demonstrations. Which is more probable now? Linda is a bank teller. Linda is a bank teller and is active in the feminist movement. Most people say B, but the correct answer is A Why? This is an example of the conjunction fallacy in decision making and the Linda example is from Kahneman and Tversky 1982. That is when we hear two things, we automatically add them. After all, 2 is greater than 1 but in probabilities 2 is less than 1. In Linda’s case, we can assign a 5% probability to Linda being a bank teller and 95% probability of Linda being active in the feminist movement. When we multiple .05 * .95, we get .0475 which is less than 5%. When you’re confronted with a decision with multiple parts. Isolate them before considering their connections. -- Subscribe to Dr. Z Podcasts to follow other programs such as the People Behind the PhDs, Organ Oracles, and Leaders on the Line.

The Daily Decision-11-Shortcuts, Heuristics
The Daily Decision-11-Shortcuts, Heuristics Hello Hello This is Dr. Z, Zachary Brooks, with The Daily Decision because you want to make better decisions. M4A MP3 Today is the ELEVENTH episode of The Daily Decision In the last episode, we talked about biases and that knowing about them helps us recognize blind spots, avoid traps, and make better decisions. Today the topic is “heuristics.” What’s that? Heuristics are mental shortcuts to make decisions. They may work much of the time, but they don’t work all of the time. Heuristics comes from ancient Greek which means “to find” or to “discover.” A rule of thumb or educated guess are examples of using a heuristic to make a quick decision that has the practical effect of solving a problem quickly but may not solve a problem for a longer duration. An example rule of thumb is that 20% of the input creates 80% of the result. While this observation may be useful, over relying on this heuristic can limit your best decisions. What heuristics do you use in your own life? How far do they take you? -- Subscribe to Dr. Z Podcasts to follow other programs such as the People Behind the PhDs, Organ Oracles, and Leaders on the Line.
