E7: Sampling Bias

We talk about what it really means to have a biased sample, how this is different to other types of measure, and what that means for a few examples. We look at a classic case study from military history, health research, and a breathtakingly transphobic survey.

This video is age restricted because it features discussion of sexual violence and the porn industry.
