Data originally from DASL http://lib.stat.cmu.edu/DASL/Datafiles/CancerSurvival.html (Links to an external site.). Some bronchial cancer patients had the following survival times (in days) after receiving a certain treatment: 20, 37, 63, 64, 72, 81, 138, 151, 155, 166, 166, 223, 245, 246, 450, 459.  (The second instance of “166” is not a mistake.) Do these numbers suggest that the average survival time, for all bronchial cancer patients who receive that treatment, is significantly different from 200 days? CANCER SURVIVAL Report an appropriate one-sample hypothesis test and use a 10% significance level. For Step 5 of the six-step process that was taught in this class, which would be the appropriate procedure and why?  Choose the correct option. Group of answer choices We would do a t-procedure because we have the standard deviation. We would do a t-procedure because the sample size is large. We would do a t-procedure because we do not have the population standard deviation and the sample size is small. We would do a z-procedure because we have the standard deviation. We would do a z-procedure because we do not have the population standard deviation and the sample size is small.

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.
