Question

Which statements about these athletes best demonstrate bias ? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

The correct answer is the following: statements 1 and 4 best demonstrate bias. In the picture, there is a gaph that shows some statistics about three professional football wide receivers. Statement 1 indicates that one of these players is the best wide receiver in the league. This is a clear example of bias, as the statement is impartial, as it is debatable and subjective to say that one players is the best of all the entire league. Statement 4, on the other hand, states that one of the players is the worst between the three. That statement is also bias as it is using a subjective adjective like "worst" to describe one of the players, when that is more of an opinion than a fact.

Bias is the action of supporting or opposing a particular person or thing, in an unfair way, becaue of allowing personal opinions to influence your judgment.

Answer 2

1 and 4 because they use words like best or worst, which represent opinion and are subjective and biased.
