REMEMBER: A statistic can be precise with or without bias, and vice versa. The best situation is when your results are both precise (consistent) as well as unbiased (on target). That goal is what statisticians always strive for. How often does it happen? You can have a lot of control of the precision part by simply taking a larger sample. However, the goal of completely unbiased results is rarely achieved, but that doesn’t stop statisticians from trying. And you do have ways to minimize it (keep reading).

We are already so used to using a keyboard that today’s children are losing the ability to spell without the aid of a word processor Without a doubt even greater changes 7 _________ in technology used in the workplace. Computers 8 ________ (undoubtedly) to grow even more powerful and this 9 _________ (probably) in an even faster pace of life than we have now. Let us hope that our employers 10 _________ a way to reduce the stress on workers this fast pace can bring also think these improvements in technology 11 ________ even more globalisation than now and companies 12 _________ very strong international links.
