Alejandro wants to determine the average shoe size of all of the male students in his school. Which sample is likely to yield the most biased results?.

How to identify a bias in sampling?

The sample that is likely to yield the most biased results is; B) every member of the boys’ basketball team.

The reason option B is the most biased is because members of a basketball team are typically taller than other people. We know that taller people generally have larger feet, and larger shoe sizes, than shorter people. Thus, choosing only people from this area would lead to a biased sample.

The missing options are;

A) every tenth boy on the school’s phone list

B) every member of the boys’ basketball team

C) every boy in a randomly selected ninth-, tenth-, eleventh-, and twelfth-grade gym class

D) every fifth boy who walks through the front doors of the school in the morning
