Question 3

Discussion seminars

The university has decided to increase the maximum number of students in seminar classes from 8
to 15. This is mainly because the number of students attending this college is rapidly rising, and
more students want to take seminar classes. In addition, there are not enough professors for the
number of classes to increase. Therefore, having larger classes is the best option available. We
hope that this change will give more students a chance to take part in seminars.

Question 4

Sampling Bias

Sampling bias refers to a situation in which the people selected for a survey do not reflect the entire
population. This happens when certain sectors of the population are excluded in surveys. The result
is that samples will include a large amount of individuals with similar characteristics. Sampling bias
does not normally result from a deliberate attempt to produce one-sided results. Instead, it usually
results from the inherent difficulties of surveying an entire population. Sampling bias must be taken
into account when writing a final survey report, otherwise the results will not be meaningful.
