my answer is availability heuristic

I agree.

I can understand why you might think that the answer is the availability heuristic, but in this case, the correct answer is actually the algorithm.

An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure or formula for solving a problem. In this scenario, Albert is using a general rule based on his family's performance to predict his own future outcomes. He assumes that since both of his parents dropped out of school and his brother left school in the eighth grade, he will likely not complete high school either. This is a simplified decision-making process that relies on a predefined set of rules or a mental shortcut.

The availability heuristic, on the other hand, refers to the tendency to rely on readily available examples or information when making decisions or judgments. It does not directly apply to the situation described in the question.

It's important to carefully consider the options provided and understand their definitions in order to select the most suitable answer.
