Suppose that you are in the market to purchase a car. You have narrowed it down to two choices and will let gas mileage be the deciding factor. You decide to conduct a little experiment in which you put 10 gallons of gas in the car and drive it on a closed track until it runs out gas. You conduct this experiment 15 times on each car and record the number of miles driven. Car 1: (220, 234, 225, 235, 234, 227, 215, 220, 227, 234, 232, 223, 231, 240, 227} Car 2: {202, 296, 185, 217, 251, 256, 228, 213, 208, 225, 216, 169, 208, 316, 195)} Find: (Please only fill in the necessary boxes.

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.
