HELP PLEASE

Explain why it is biased and which type of bias it is.

1)Emily never locks her apartment door because she knows she won’t have an unwelcome visitor.Not only is she in the best part of town, but the things like that just don’t happen to her.



2) The McArthur Wheeler case is a rather unusual criminal case from 1995 that involved a 44-year-old man robbing a bank. The convict, Mr Wheeler, had read about some peculiar properties of lemon juice and misinterpreted them to a rather bizarre extent. He assumed that since lemon juice’s chemical properties are somewhat similar to invisible ink, his face would appear invisible or blurry to security cameras. Equipped with confidence that no camera would be able to identify him (due to smearing his face with lemon juice), he boldly robbed two banks in Pittsburgh without using a disguise. Security camera footage of him robbing the bank clearly showed his face (obviously) and he was arrested the very same day. He was quite shocked that the police found him so soon,given that he had applied lemon juice to his face.

3)Anna signed up for a class at UofL that proved to be worthless. However, because already paid the money for the class, she decided to continue attending.

4) Josh walked into his Civics class on the first day and knew that it would be a horrible class just by the way the desks were arranged. “Ugh,” he groaned, “Get ready for a long semester.
