   b) fallen prey to a conjunction fallacy.
   c) ignored regression to the mean.
   d) committed a belief bias error.

Question 2

The Madden jinx is the purported tendency for a person to perform poorly after being touted on the yearly version of the popular video game. Our perception of this outcome as a jinx is due to:
