To determine whether the question is biased or not and if biased then rewrite it so that it become unbiased.
Answer to Problem 12E
The question is potentially biased
An unbiased question is:
“Do you support the school football team.”
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
The question is:
‘Do you still support the school football team, even though the team is having its worst season in 10 years?’
This question is biased because it suggest that supporting the school football team is bad (as the team is having its worst season in 10 years).
An unbiased question is “Do you support the school football team.”
