We chose 3 bias questions.
Our survey was free and not time sensitive. Our candidates responses were all kept confidential and they all were given the right to refuse to answer. Our questions were asked clearly with an appropriate use of language.
Our preferred method of sampling that we used to collect data was a convenience sample. This is because we asked easy and accessible friends.
We would conduct a convenient sample by surveying students that were more accessible to us. If we conducted a stratified sample we would choose 2 students from all of our classes in our school. To conduct a systematic sample we would choose last names ending in the letter Y off of all our teacher’s attendance list. We would conduct a voluntary response sample by posting our survey on our schools bulletin board
Our survey questions were all revolved around time. Many errors could have been made due to the candidates not knowing the exact time they take to wake up or go to bed and or get ready in the morning. We could have given more multiple choice answers. This way the candidates could have given a more accurate answer. We found that, out of 10 people the majority of the students went to bed at 11 PM, got up in the morning at 6 AM, and spent 30 minutes getting ready in the morning.
Mean for question 1
Ex.  (9+9+11+11+11+11+11+12+12+12) ÷ 10 = 10.9
The average person sleeps at 10:54
Median for question 2
Ex. 5 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 8    (6+6) ÷ 2 = 6
The median of question 2 is 6
Mode for question 3
The most frequent value occurring in the data is 7.
