Of the following, which factor that contributes to misconceptions is most likely the cause of the children's misconception in this example?

  b. Language
  c. Society

Question 2

Karen believes in the gambler's fallacy. This is the erroneous belief that if you flip a coin, for instance, and get five heads in a row, you then have a greater than 50 chance to get a tail on the next flip of the coin. The best way to modify this misconception is to:
 
  a. provide Karen with more instruction about the laws of probability.
  b. tell Karen that there is an independent chance to get a head or a tail each flip.
  c. give Karen a coin and some recording paper and flip coins to collect data.
  d. tell Karen she holds a misconception and sometime later she may be ready to remedy her knowledge.
