Behavioral heuristics, such as availability, anchoring, vividness,  storage, conjunction fallacy, and representativeness, all reflect  behavioral traits, which if left unchecked may lead to systematic bias  in the choices you make. For example, anchoring and availability can  lead to disastrous decisions.

You may know how to recognize these heuristics, but consider how they may have influenced you in the past.

Find at least one example from your own career where you, or another  manager, allowed one of these or another pitfall, to sway you from the  mean.

Respond to the following:

• Why did you/they ignore the base rates?
• What other statistically relevant factors did you/they fail to incorporate?
• How could you have altered the framing of the situation to make a better decision?

By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the module, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.

Write your initial response in 300–500 words.
