Question

Mark is reviewing recent applications for an opening at his company. The first few he reviews do not meet the minimum qualifications for the position, and Mark thinks to himself, "There is not one qualified applicant this time." Mark has demonstrated A) operational definitions. B) hypothesizing. C) hindsight bias. D) sampling bias.

Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a sampling bias because the way that the applications were not seeing in a random way. Just because the first ones are not good enough, it does not mean that necessarily all of them are bad. He has to keep seeing for sometime to determine if there are some good ones. He gave up because of a bad sampling amount, what doesn't mean they are all bad.

Answer 2

D) sampling bias

Step-by-step explanation:

Sampling bias means that for non-random reasons, the samples of a stochastic factor obtained to establish its distribution are wrongly chosen and therefore do not reflect the actual distribution.

So, the sample is obtained so that certain members of the expected population have a lower probability of sampling than others.
