Bias is systematic error. Random error is not.
I haven't been able to confirm the answer yet but here's what I believe: 'error and bias' in research terms questions the validity of the results you have found. If you are asked to relate error and bias to your research, they are asking you to share possible errors with the results and whether or not there could be any bias in the results collected.
A systematic error. This may arise because the measuring instrument is not properly calibrated or because there is a bias in recording the results.
inaccurate calibration insufficient control of the independent variable poor measurement techniques difficulties in reading measurements (low light, vibration, etc.) insufficient precision in measurement ambiguities in what is being measured measurement bias question bias failure to control other important variables that are not being measured (in the case of electronic measurements) interference or static
anti-bias?
A system of gathering data to reduce bias and errors in measurement is called a "controlled experiment." This involves carefully designing the study to control for potential confounding factors that could influence the results. By controlling these variables, researchers can draw more accurate and reliable conclusions from the data collected.
Bias is systematic error. Random error is not.
Bias refers to a systematic error in data collection, analysis, interpretation, or presentation that results in incorrect conclusions. It can stem from various sources such as sampling methods, measurement tools, or researcher perspectives, leading to skewed results that do not accurately represent the true population characteristics. Identifying and minimizing bias is crucial in scientific research to ensure the reliability and validity of findings.
Sampling error leads to random error. Sampling bias leads to systematic error.
Some examples of threats to validity that could impact the results of this study include selection bias, measurement error, confounding variables, and researcher bias.
the strategy that will not help reduce selection bias is:
No, its not.
In stat the term bias is referred to a directional error in the estimator.
Alike:They are both an error that distort results in a particular way.Different: Emotional bias is distortion in cognition and decision making and expiremental bias is error that distorts results in a particular way.

Bias can lead to an incorrect conclusion by influencing the way data is interpreted or analyzed, leading to skewed results that support the bias. In experimental settings, bias can affect the design of the study, the selection of participants, or the measurement of variables, all of which can introduce errors that compromise the validity of the conclusions drawn from the research.
An unwanted influence on a sample refers to any factor that can introduce bias or error into the sample, potentially affecting the accuracy and reliability of the results. This could include environmental factors, human error, contamination, or systematic errors in measurement techniques. Minimizing unwanted influences is critical in ensuring the validity of study findings.
