According to a study done by a university student, the probability a randomly selected individual will not cover his or her mouth when sneezing is 0.267. Suppose you sit on a bench in a mall and observe people's habits as they sneeze. (a) What is the probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals exactly 5 do not cover their mouth when sneezing? (b) What is the probability that among 18 randomly observed individuals fewer than 4 do not cover their mouth when sneezing? (c) Would you be surprised if, after observing 18 individuals, fewer than half covered their mouth when sneezing? Why?

Types of Bias

Statistics is the study of data collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation. Statistical bias is a characteristic of a statistical technique or its findings in which the expected value deviates from the actual root quantitative parameter being estimated. According to the actual definition of bias, it refers to the tendency of a statistic to overestimate or underestimate a parameter.
