Why do so many of us prefer our tv volumes to be multiples of 5? Why is there positive bias towards multiples of 5 and 2 in general? Why is there a negative bias towards odd numbers? Like when we try to come up with random numbers we mostly come up with odd numbers. Maths is a concept thats purely created by humans rather than being some natural phenomenon so why do such biases exist?
