Question
Which would you rather fight, one horse sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?
Bias
Which would rather fight one stallion-sized duck or an army of duck-sized ponies?
The sample’s reasons for duck-sized horses
“They’re small so I could kick them and kill them much easier because of their lack of size and quantity”
“After I have defeated them, I could raise them as my own and sell them and make a lot of money”
“Horse hooves are tiny so they do not hurt”
“Ducks are capable of flight so they are mor dangerous”
“Horses are more adorable than ugly ducks”
“Horses are only scary because of their big size. Duck sized would be less terrifying”
“They are easier to kill due to their small size”
“The horses are disorganized and will have no direction. They will just run over each other, which makes it less work for me”
“A horse sized duck sounds horrifying whereas a bunch of little horses makes me smile.”
“To get pecked to death by a gigantic duck would be a horrible way to die”
The sample’s reasons for one horse-sized duck
Single quantity > Large quantity “Ducks are easier to tame compared to horses”
“Ducks are more edible than horses”
“Ducks are less harmful than horses”
“Ducks are weaker than horses and require less energy”
“Packs of horses can easily take down a large opponent”
“Horses are strong and fast”
“Losing to small animals would be more humiliating”
“ Dinner”
“I'd rather get attacked with a beak/bill than a mouth full of horse teeth.”
Method of Sampling:
We used a representative sample of about sixty high school students, from assorted areas such as the high school cafeteria, the mall, and classrooms. Taking care to vary the areas we picked from to get the least confounded basic sample, once we collected the data we used simple random sampling to pick sixty experimental units out of the 70+ subjects of each treatment option. We then further reduced any confounding or lurking variables by blocking the data by
