Question

Sampling and Bias Circle true or false for each statement:Sampling bias occurs when the method of selecting a sample causes the sample to differ from the population in some relevant way. True or False

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

Sampling bias occurs when some members of a population are systematically more likely to be selected in a sample than others. The statement tells us that the selection method makes the sample differ from the population, that is to say that the sample does not represent the population, since members were selected according to what is needed, that is to say there is a sampling bias.

This means that the statement is true.
