Two messenger companies, the AAA and Dingbats, operate in the city. 85 %of the bike messengers in the city are AAA and 15 %are Dingbats. A witness identified the bike messenger as Dingbats. The court tested the reliability of the witness under the same circumstances that existed on the night of the accident and concluded that the witness correctly identified each one of the two messenger companies 80 % of the time and failed 20 %of the time.

Answer 5

The word bias has a couple of meanings. (1)Being biased means that you treat one thing better than another. For example, saying I have a bias for action means that I want to do stuff and not just talk about it. Be careful with this though because biased is also a synonym for racist! (2) Cutting fabric on the bias means cutting it kind of diagonally across the fabric. This sometimes make the finished garment more drapey and fluid.

Answer 6

You can look at it mostly as a filter in a sense. Like if you are wearing blue sunglasses, then everything will have a blue tint to them. So if you were to describe everything you were seeing, you would describe everything with a blue tint. Thus you would have a blue bias.

We all have biases, your unique point of view from where you were raised and your beliefs are your biases, but most people don't know where they lie.

The issue is when the news has one, when mass broadcasting will take an opinion either way, and put a spin on it to influence you. Watch Out Foxed, a documentary on the bias of fox news. Hope this helps.
