Mrs. Nalder sends out an e-mail to students on her e-mail roster and offers them a full-size candy bar to participate in a short study. Mrs. Nalder accepts the first 20 students to respond to her e-mail. Will Mrs. Nalder's study be biased or unbiased? Explain your thinking.
What is biased, because ... 1.) 20 students is not a large enough sample 2.) Only students on her e-mail roster got the notification. 3.) Mrs. Nalder is paying her students to participate, so only students who really care about getting the candy bar will respond.

In April of 2013, Arbitron/Edison did a study on the Average Number of Facebook Friends, by Age Group. Given the following results, what inferences can you make about a person's age and the average number of Facebook friends he or she has? 12+: 303 35-44: 209 12-17: 506 45-54: 183 18-24: 510 55-64: 113 25-34: 328 65+: 115
What is ... 1) On average, people between the ages of 18-24 have the most Facebook friends. 2.) On average, people between the ages of 55-64 have the least amount of Facebook friends. 3.) The number of Facebook friends a person has drops dramatically when a person reaches the age of 35. 4.) The average number of Facebook friends is very close for the age groups of 12-17 and 18-24. The same is true for the age groups 55-64 and 65+.

Ford Thunderbirds: 18, 9, 25, 44, 32, 20 Keithley Kolts: 5, 21, 28, 40, 23, 19 Which team do you think has the better RBI average? Write a few sentences using your data to explain how you know.
What is ... 1.) Ford has the better RBI average, because they have the higher "straight average" or mean of 24.67 compared to Keithley's mean of 22.33. or 2.) Keithley has the better RBI average, because their median of 24.5 is higher than Ford's median of 22.5. Keithley also has less deviation in their data, because they have a lower IQR of 2 versus Ford's IQR of 14, and they have a lower MAD of 7.78 compared to Ford's MAD of 9. 3.) Keithley also has a mode of 21, whereas Ford has no mode. Ford and Keithley both have a range of 35.
