Answer 1

Answer:Order in random events

Step-by-step explanation:

Tonya' belief is an example of our tendency to perceive order in random events. People try to find a pattern in a random event to get a meaningful idea. Though the data is random but people try to relate it with their life and consider this as intuition.

People generally believe in their intuition more than they should so they commit a mistake by doing so.
