Each of the 32 NFL teams has 53 players. A sample of 75 players is to be chosen using the following method. . Each team will be asked to place 53 pieces of paper with its players' names into a hat and randomly draw out two names. The two names from each team will be combined to make up the sample. Explain how this method could result in less bias than a simple random sample. Justify your answer. It results in less bias because this will ensure that all players chosen will all be either offensive or defensive players. It results in less bias because each team will have an equal number of players represented in the sample. It does not result in less bias - the only way to reduce bias is to do a simple random sample. In order for it to result in less bias we will need to take a random sample of the teams and use the whole teams chosen as part of the sample.
