BIAS: what is it? how can we avoid it? what are some of the common ways it creeps into samples and experiments? can we trust our results if there is a clear bias? does increasing the sample size help?

bias is when the results lead to a false conclusion. It happens when your sample isnt randomized and your sampling contains a pattern..Results cant be trusted and adding more just add bias to the already biased data.
bias is the tendency to lean towards a particular item/result. This can cause inacurate results. We can avoid it by using computers/calculators to chose numbers. Increasing the sample size can help reduce the bias and can more acurately descibe the data.
Bias is a tendency to lean towards a certain item or result. Bias contaminates the results because they arent random. Thus, it leads to false conclusions. We can avoid bias by using computer data over data generated by humans. When dealing with people, there is always a chance of bias interfering. When bias is involved, results can't be trusted because they may be inaccurate or not representative of the larger group. Increasing the sample size can, in some cases, help to reduce the bias. Also, anytime that we increase the sample size, the data is more accurately described.
bias...as described in the above comments...is when people tend to lean towards a certain result. it creeps and slides into experiments when there is a pattern to your "randomized data." most of the time, this tragic happening can be avoided by using your handy-dandy calculadora. results cannot be trusted in any way, shape or form, because it wouldn't be random. no, increasing the size wouldn't help, it would add to the biased data that is bias due to your biased attitude toward biasness and it's meaning...uhh.. ;)
Bias is when data is not random due to our tendancy to pick certain items. its important to not have bias data in order to find more acurate information. the only way to truly prevent a bias in data is to use computed numebers.
Bias is the tendancy to lean towards a specific item/result that can cause inacurate results. It commonly creeps in when people "randomly" choose data therefore we should use calculators or computers to choose random numbers for us. If there is clear bias results cannot be trusted because they are inacurate. Increasing sample size can help reduce bias and provide more accuracy to results.
Bias is when there is a data that has a pattern or seems to favor a side. This data now becomes very corrupted and the results cannot be taken seriosly. BY increasing any corupted data u r doing nothing but making the data more useless. Many times bias data may move into our experiment due to human intervention.
Bias is when there is a tendency towards a certain result that makes the results the data provides less than random and the conclusion inaccurate. Bias creeps into samples and experiments when the samples are chosen by people, but we can remove bias by using computer generated data and in some cases increasing our sample size, that way, our results will be accurate.
Bias is a personal and sometimes unreasonable judgment that can render the data inconclusive. Bias data occurs when there is no randomization in the subjects or variables. Increasing sample size would definitely decrease bias because it would be increasing randomization.
Bias is when an observer only sees what he or she is looking for; in doing so, will unintentionally come up with the outcome that they favored (me) Bias is A statistical sampling or testing error caused by systematically favoring some outcomes over others (yes, dictionary). We can avoid bias by using data that has been randomized by a computer. Some common ways it creeps into samples and experiments is when humans are generating data. People tend to create what they think is random, but is in fact biased data. We can not trust our results if there is a clear bias because, most likely, they are not representative of the data as a whole, or the results will be completely inaccurate. Increasing the sample size can help to DESTROY bias and better describe the data.
Bias is false data based on human choice. we can avoid it by using random number generators etc
