Toxic waste The Environmental Protection Agency took amap of a region near a former industrial waste dump andplaced a grid of 552 squares on it. They randomly selectedany 16 of those squares from which to collect soil samplesand checked each for evidence of toxic chemicals.a) What type of sampling did they use?b) Is there any sort of bias associated with this samplingprocedure?c) One researcher suggests that plots closer to the olddump site could contain more contaminants than thosefarther away. How could the sampling procedure beimproved to take this into account?

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.
