Define the term selection bias and describe whether this phenomenon can affect internal validity.
Selection bias is the bias introduced by the selection of individuals, groups or data for analysis in such a way that proper randomization is not achieved, thereby ensuring that the sample obtained is not representative of the population intended to be analyzed. It is sometimes referred to as the selection effect. The phrase "selection bias" most often refers to the distortion of a statistical analysis, resulting from the method of collecting samples. If the selection bias is not taken into account, then some conclusions of the study may be false.
A distinction of sampling bias (albeit not a universally accepted one) is that it undermines the external validity of a test (the ability of its results to be generalized to the rest of the population), while selection bias mainly addresses internal validity for differences or similarities found in the sample at hand.
Define the term selection bias and describe whether this phenomenon can affect internal validity.
16)Define internal validity: a. The extent to which we can draw causal conclusions about a study such as random and systematic error, confounding, and selection bias b. Exchangeability or how comparable the study group is to otherand explains generalizability or transportability 17. Define external validity: a.

Determine whether the study involves selection bias, participation bias, both selection bias and participation bias, or neither: 14) You are interested in the degree of satisfaction amongst customers at your video store. For one week, you hand a customer satisfaction questionnaire to every customer who comes into the store and ask them to fill it out and place it in a box after they check out.

There are many types of bias that can affect research outcomes. Research and discuss the following types of bias that can affect the credibility of resources. Please give specific examples of how these types of bias can alter results of studies. Sampling bias Selection bias Interviewer bias Response bias Observation bias Leading questions and wording bias Sponsor bias

Time-related factors and other order effects can threaten internal validity for some within-subjects experiments. Describe the kind of study for which these factors can be a problem and explain how they can be a confounding variable in some within-subjects designs.
