Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The choice of the bank teller who was a feminist violates the conjunction rule, which is part of the conjunction fallacy. This rule states that the probability of two events occurring together cannot be greater than the probability of each individual event occurring alone. In this case, the probability of "bank teller who is a feminist" is lower than the probability of "bank teller" alone, making it irrational to choose the former option as more likely.
