select all the correct answers. select all the studies in which the results may have been skewed by bias. a study on employees commute time, with 90% of the data falling within 1 standard deviation of the population mean a study on the average life span of a type of plant, where 50% of the data fell above the population mean a study of the popularity of a particular music genre, with a small standard deviation about the mean a study with a significantly larger than expected standard deviation about the sample mean a study on the heights of a group of fourth - graders, where 90% of the data fell below the population mean a study of the average annual rainfall, with 28% of the data having a z - score greater than 1
Answer
Brief Explanations:
In a normal - distribution, about 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean. If 90% of data falls within 1 standard deviation (as in the first option), it may indicate bias. When 90% of data falls below the population mean (fifth option), it is highly non - normal and likely biased. A significantly larger than expected standard deviation (fourth option) can also be a sign of bias in sampling or data collection. A z - score distribution should follow certain patterns in a normal distribution, and 28% of data having a z - score greater than 1 (sixth option) may suggest non - normality and potential bias. The second option with 50% of data above the mean is normal for a symmetric distribution, and a small standard deviation (third option) doesn't necessarily imply bias.
