2. Is each question biased or fair? Explain.
a. Do you prefer greasy meat or healthy vegetables on your pizza?
b. Which pizza topping do you like best?

a.
To find:
Whether the given question “Do you prefer greasy meat or healthy vegetables on your pizza” is biased or fair and explain the answer.
Answer to Problem 1NT
Solution:
The question is fair. It does not have any assumption about greasy meat, healthy vegetables or people.
Explanation of Solution
Definition used:
Biased question:
The biased question is the question which makes an unjustified assumption or introduce some answers appear good than others.
Calculation:
The question does not has any assumption to find the answer.
That is, there is no assumption for greasy meat, healthy vegetables or people.
Hence, the question “Do you prefer greasy meat or healthy vegetables on your pizza” is fair.

b.
Whether the given question “Which pizza topping do you like best” is biased or fair and explain the answer.
Answer to Problem 1NT
Solution:
The question is fair. It does not have any assumption about the type of pizza.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The question does not has any assumption to find the answer.
That is, there is no need to assume for the type of pizza. The answer is made by our choice.
Hence, the question “Do you prefer greasy meat or healthy vegetables on your pizza” is fair.

Howie Jones, the owner and manager of the company, needs to decide how many of each type of hot tub to produce during his next production cycle. Howie buys prefabricated fiberglass hot tub shells from a local supplier and adds the pump and tubing to the shells to create his hot tubs. (This supplier has the capacity to deliver as many hot tub shells as Howie needs.) Howie installs the same type of pump into both hot tubs. He will have only 200 pumps available during his next production cycle. From a manufacturing standpoint, the main difference between the two models of hot tubs is the amount of tubing and labor required. Each Aqua-Spa requires 9 hours of labor and 12 feet of tubing. Each Hydro-Lux requires 6 hours of labor and 16 feet of tubing. Howie expects to have 1,566 production labor hours and 2,880 feet of tubing available during the next production cycle. Howie earns a profit of…arrow_forward
