Valerie manages a team of 30 employees at a large company. She wants to survey members of her team on her
performance as their manager. She holds an individual meeting with each of her team's members and asks them
the same set of questions. Valerie finds that 83% of her employees rate her performance as "outstanding."
Which of these is the best explanation for why this result is probably biased?
Choose 1 answer:
(A
Employees may not want to give critical feedback in person to their manager, so this is likely an
overestimate of Valerie's performance.
Employees may not want to give critical feedback in person to their manager, so this is likely an
underestimate of Valerie's performance.
Only members of Valerie's team are being polled, so this is likely an overestimate of Valerie's
performance.

Samples have to be well chosen, otherwise, there can be a source of bias. For example, if you want to make a survey about who is better, Pele or Maradona, if you choose only Brazilians, or only Argentinians, the results will be biased, thus a sample with an equal number of Brazilians and Argentinians should be used.

In this problem, Valerie's is their manager, and the employees may be reluctant to give her critical feedback, which means that the proportion of 83% is an overestimate, and the correct option is:

(A) Employees may not want to give critical feedback in person to their manager, so this is likely an overestimate of Valerie's performance.
