A school newspaper is going to investigate students’perceptions regarding the campus security guards. They plan to survey 100 students at the school. The editor-in-chief tells his staff that he is worried about undercov-erage bias created by chronically truant students. His concern is. . .a) unwarranted because some students may refuse toparticipate and that is inevitable.b) justified because chronically truant students will be difficult to survey and will probably have a dispropor-tionately negative view of the security guards. c) unwarranted because students who cannot be sur-veyed are not a part of the population of interest. d) unwarranted because students who cannot be sur-veyed are not a part of the sample. e) justified because people need to be forced to answer asurvey in order for the results to be valid.

Types of Bias

Statistics is the study of data collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation. Statistical bias is a characteristic of a statistical technique or its findings in which the expected value deviates from the actual root quantitative parameter being estimated. According to the actual definition of bias, it refers to the tendency of a statistic to overestimate or underestimate a parameter.
