The design of a statistical study shows bias if it systematically favors certain outcomes.

A study that attempts to collect data from every individual in the population.

To take a cluster sample, first divide the population into smaller groups. Ideally, these clusters should mirror the characteristics of the population. Then choose an SRS of the clusters. All individuals in the chosen clusters are included in the sample.

Convenience sample

A sample selected by taking the members of the population that are easiest to reach; particularly prone to large bias.

An experiment in which neither the subjects nor those who interact with them and measure the response variable know which treatment a subject received.
