inaccurate observations - Answer -This is sometimes because we are not consciously
observing

Selective Observation - Answer -When we overgeneralize we focus on a pattern and

something

illogical reasoning - Answer -If I tell you I am going to give 3 random quizzes in class
during the semester and I give you one in February and one in March you might
