can someone explain survey bias to me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what bias is?

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

not very much.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay well bias is when you are against something. so say you were against womans rights, that would mean you were bias to womans rights as many people were long ago. Make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So a bias survey is a survey that is against something. So in other words in the survey they would try to convince you to be against something like womans rights. Or at least that's what I believe you are referencing to.

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

question A school wants to add a coed soccer program. to determine student interest in the program a survey will be taken. in order to get an unbiased sample which group should the school survey? a. every member of the varsity football team b. every member in ms. zimmers drama classes c. every third student entering the building. d. every students having a second period french class

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be C. Because if there was a certain group that wanted the soccer program or didn't want it, the decision would be biased.

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

because the students were randomly selected right? like they didnt choose a specific group to survey?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :)

OpenStudy (ny,ny):
