Assume there are ten possible pairs of days an employee could pick from, and that list of the sets of ten pairs suggested in the question above is the right one. If a pair was just picked at random, what is the chance that they’d pick Monday and Friday as the pair, and does this suggest the secretary (in the amended dialogue) has uncovered a bias?Group of answer choices1 in 10. No evidence of bias since every pair had an equal chance of being chosen.1 in 10. Yes, if 40% are choosing Monday and Friday, that is evidence of bias toward that pair.4 in 10. But that is the exactly what the secretary notices was happening, so no evidence of bias.4 in 10. Yes, if 40% are choosing that pair of days, and there is exactly that chance of randomly choosing that pair of days, then this is clear evidence of bias in the days the employees are choosing.

Let’s put some other words into the secretary’s dialogue. What if she had said the following?Secretary:  When employees choose to take off a pair of sick days in a Tuesday–Monday period of time, 40% of the time they choose Friday and Monday as the two days they pick!The following two questions explore in what sense this is or is not a different situation than the one in the actual cartoon.Question: If we denote the five usual workdays as M,T,W,R, and F (using R for Thursday), which of the following lists all pairs of possible workdays.Group of answer choices(M,F), (T,F), (T,M), (W,M), (W,F), (R,M), (R,F), (F,W), (F,R), (M,R)(M,T), (M,W), (M,R), (M,F), (T,W), (R,M), (T, F), (R,W), (W,F), (R,F)(M,T), (T,W), (W,R), (R,F), (T,M), (W,T), (R,W), (F,R), (M,F), (F,T)iii.

Analyze potential biases in employee selection processes which could be influenced by inherent biases in the system and also due to limited sample sizes

Gavin, a supermarket employee, approached 50 random customers and asked whether they would be willing to discuss what they liked most about the store. He interviewed the 47 who said yes.Is this sample of the supermarket's customers likely to be biased?yesnoSubmit

What are the bias that is involved in the selection process?

Noah surveyed the 47 customers in a shoe store on a Monday morning.Is this sample of the shoe store's customers likely to be biased?
