\"If a sample is not independent then it is also biased.\"

True or False?

Solution

FALSE

In experimental science, experimenter\'s bias, also known as research bias, is a subjective bias towards a result expected by the human experimenter.^[1] For example, it occurs when scientists unconsciously affect subjects in experiments.

The experimenter may introduce cognitive bias into a study in several ways. In what is called the observer-expectancy effect, the experimenter may subtly communicate their expectations for the outcome of the study to the participants, causing them to alter their behavior to conform to those expectations.
