Bias can happen in sampling. The propensity of a sample statistic to systematically under- or over-approximate a population is referred to as bias.

 

 

To add, in statistics, sampling bias is a bias in which a sample is collected in such a way that some members of the intended population are less likely to be included than others.

 

The following are some types of biases in Statistics:

 

Selection bias includes individuals being more likely to be chosen for study than others, biasing the sample. This can also be termed Berksonian bias

 

In statistical hypothesis testing, a test is said to be unbiased if for some alpha level (between 0 and 1), the probability the null is not accepted is less than or equal to the alpha level for the entire parameter space defined by the null hypothesis, while the probability the null is rejected is greater than or equal to the alpha level for the entire criterion space interpreted by the alternate hypothesis.

How did flowers and fruits contribute to angiosperms becoming dominant land plants on earth?
Ainat [17]

Answer: The study, by Dr. Tim Brodribb and Dr. Taylor Field of the University of Tasmania and University of Tennessee, used plant physiology to reveal how flowering plants, including crops, were able to dominate land by evolving more efficient hydraulics, or 'leaf plumbing', to increase rates of photosynthesis.

Explanation: The reason for the success of this evolutionary step is that under relatively low atmospheric C02 conditions, like those existing at present, water transport efficiency and photosynthetic performance are tightly linked. Therefore adaptations that increase water transport will enhance maximum photosynthesis, exerting substantial evolutionary leverage over competing species.

The evolution of dense leaf venation in flowering plants, around 140-100 million years ago, was an event with profound significance for the continued evolution of flowering plants. This step provided a 'cretaceous productivity stimulus package' which reverberated across the biosphere and led to these plants playing the fundamental role in the biological and atmospheric functions of the earth.

Kisachek [45]

Pond water contains a variety of plant and animal life. While some are visible to the plain eye, others require a microscope to observe them.

zzz [600]
B is not part of the cell theory; there are many types of cells that do not have cell walls, so the statement cannot even be generally true.
