The Bayesian Technique is a method that can be used to address biases in decision-making.
The technique involves considering the prior probability, likelihood, and total probability to make an informed decision.
For example, when determining whether Steve is more likely to be a librarian or a farmer based on his personality traits, the base rate plays a significant role.
Although people may have a bias toward labeling Steve as a librarian due to representativeness heuristic, the base rate of farmers outweighs the likelihood of librarians having those traits.
