Bias
BIAS means that the sample was NOT
representative of the population.
In that case, youd have to review your
sampling methodology and start again.
To minimize bias, you must choose a
COMPLETELY RANDOM sample.

Conclusion
In this section, we learned that
Sampling is usually the preferred method
of getting information about a population.
Good samples are representative. Bad
samples are biased.
To avoid bias, you must use complete
randomization to select a sample.
