Extra Credit 1. A) Response biased can occur when a group of people being sampled respond to questions not entirely accurate or truthfully due to various reasons. I believe that response biased may be occurring within the Washing State Climate Change Results file because people are misinformed about climate change 2. A) Predicting that the Indiana Pacers will score exactly 108 points in their next game due to their mean being 108 is not the best predictor in my opinion. Though this will give a good range to try to guess, blatantly going of a relatively small sample size will not help someone predict a one game score. B) Some information that I would like to have to make such a prediction would be a basic record of the mean, the standard deviation for the first half of the year, their highs and lows of point scoring on the year and who they have played during the year. 3. Some critics I have about the graph regarding coaches’ salary is it does not account for the strength of schedule. Different sports could have various strength of schedules due to conference strength or independent scheduling. I feel like it should be accounted for when trying to gauge coaches on success rather than just straight wins. The graph also does not display a horizontal axis, making it tedious for the viewer to interpret a given coaches salary.
