If you know that a family has four children,and you are using the representativeness heuristic,which of the following configurations would you expect in that family

A)  three boys and one girl
B)  three girls and one boy 
C)  four children of the same sex
D)  two boys and two girls

Using the representativeness heuristic, one might expect to see an even distribution of boys and girls in the family; therefore, the most likely configuration would be two boys and two girls. The options of three boys and one girl and three girls and one boy are less likely because they do not reflect an even distribution, while four children of the same sex is even less likely due to the low probability of having four children of the same gender.
