Question
Suppose we have a case-control study that completes and yields a study OR = 4.5. If we were told the true OR in the population was actually 2.25 (we normally wouldn’t know this, but suppose hypothetically someone was able to know this and told us), this again means our study OR is biased. Is our study OR biased towards or away from the null?
 
A)Away from the null.
B)Towards the null.
