Wes, the store manager, recently had to fire Andrea, an employee who graduated from Southern College. He felt that Andrea was not well trained at her school. So, when Zeke, also a graduate from Southern College, applied for Andrea’s old position, he did not want to consider hiring him, feeling Zeke also probably did not receive the proper training. Wes was affected by bias.
a. blind training
b. confirmation
c. representativeness
d. adjustment

c. representativeness

Explanation:

Representativeness bias often referred to as Representativeness heuristic bias is a situation in which individual make judgment or conclusion of events or people based on their similarities.

First suggested by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman in early 1970s it is defined as shortcuts means of making decisions or judgment, which can sometimes leads us to making poor decision.

In other words, it is the assessment of similarities of objects or events based on their like for like characteristics.

Hence, in this case, Wes was affected by representativeness bias because, he is judging Zeke based on the similarities of characteristics he has with Andrea; attended the same school.

levels of production can be increased by technology while holding labor and capital constant, because increased technology makes the production process more efficient. subsequently, the lras curve is almost a vertical line, that can shift to the right, with an increase in technology.

the relationship between the lras curve and the ppc is that both can make the economy could grow. the ppc achieves that when it shifts outward because of more resources or technological advances while the lras curve shifts if more resources are developed or if there are technological advances.

the lras curve is a vertical line at an output level that represents the number of goods and services a nation can produce over a sustained period using all of its productive resources as efficiently as possible with all of the current technology available to it.

the production possibilities frontier (ppf) is a graphical device that is used for economic analysis of production decisions because the ppf measures the maximum possible combinations of two goods that an economy is capable of producing with its currently available resources and technology.
