which students survey is most likely not biased?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, it means not like opinionated

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it means that on average, the results tend not to be off from the true value. so if you're interested in what a certain group likes, who should you ask to get the "true" value?
