Answer 10

Yes, this survey can contain bias. If a student is answering the question or someone related or friends with a student. They could then answer the survey to better fit them, rather than all of the students as a whole

Answer 11

That was my answer to the first question.

Answer 12

well it depends on wether the students were picked randomly or not

Answer 13

Answer 14

That is the full question.

Answer 15

Answer 16

I believ ur statemnet was correct and the only thing i can think ur teacher couldve said u did wrong was that she/he wanted u to say the question was only asked to one person but the question doesn't specify that.

Answer 17

My teacher asked me to redo these two questions, so I must have done something wrong.

Answer 18

or mabeye they didnt like how u seperated the 2 last sentences or worded them

Answer 19

They could mean redo as in rewrite

Answer 20

How would I rewrite it to make more sense?

Answer 21

Actually i t6hink u should add to it that it could be bias because not all students have trouble paying attention

Answer 22

so write what u wrote accept make sentenbces 2 and 3 one sentence then add this at the end.

Answer 23

How about this?

Answer 24

Yes, this survey can contain bias. Depending on who the target audience for this question on, would reflect the type of bias given. If the survey is asking students, than they could answer it in a way to better suits them as an individual rather than the class as a whole. There is also the possibility someone answering the question already pays good attention, so the answer they give wouldn't benefit anyone.

Answer 25

perfect

Answer 26

Answer 28

for the next question u could say i would take a randomized systematic survey and ask every fith person who walks out the door of the school that is in your grade.

Answer 29

Answer 30

If you need anymore help message me. Plus, don't forget to medal and fan.

Answer 31

Thank you! This really helps me.

Answer 32

no problem

Answer 33

There is ALWAYS bias in a survey question. Always. Your task as a survey guru is to mitigate the damage and explain the bias. You can eliminate SOME parts of SOME biases, but you can not play like you can remove ALL bias.

Answer 34

@tkhunny I was thinking the same thing, but I figure the question is just trying to ask the best way to avoid bias.

Answer 35

There is no "best way" to avoid bias. Bias is different for every survey, every questioner, and everyone surveyed. In designing a survey, you must recognize the bias and disclose it.

For example, when putting multiple choices in a certain order, the later options tend to be picked much less frequently. The good researcher will produce many different version of the question and put the options in many different orders. This helps reduce the Question Oder Bias.

Interestingly, some people will be offended by your question and give you the wrong answer on purpose. Pretty tough to defend against that bias.

Answer 36

Do you think my answer was good for what the question is asking?

Answer 37

You picked just one bias type. Find at least three.
