Question

You are to submit 2 real life examples of statistical statements and state if they are biased or unbiased

Example: A toothpaste advertisement states that 3 or 4 people prefer their product. This could be a biased survey, one that is not based on a random sample. They could have asked exactly 4 people about their product.

An unbiased sample accurately represents the population. Each member of the population is equally to be chosen

Example: A person wants to find out how many people prefer chocolate of vanilla ice cream. To get an unbiased sample, she would pick out a few of the ice cream shops in her town and survey people leaving the establishment.
