The conjunction fallacy occurs when a lotto player believes that two events happening together are more likely than one occurring alone. For

"Can you outsmart this logical fallacy? - Alex Gendler"
The conjunction fallacy is a formal fallacy that occurs when it is assumed that specific conditions are more probable than a single general one.

As a student, she was deeply concerned with issues of discrimination and social justice, and also participated in anti-nuclear demonstrations. Which is more probable? 1. Linda is a bank teller. 2. Linda is a bank teller and is active in the feminist movement." The majority of those asked chose option 2. However, the probability of two events occurring together (in "conjunction") is always less than or equal to the probability of either one occurring alone [...]

Often people make decisions that are not “rational” from a purely economical point of view — meaning that they don’t necessarily lead to the best result. Why is that? Are we just bad at dealing with numbers and odds? Or is there a psychological mechanism behind it? Sara Garofalo explains heuristics, problem-solving approaches based on previous experience and intuition rather than analysis.
