Everyone has Biases. However, subtle bias is where a person may not have an specific bias until it becomes personal, then he or she will state what they believe but will not do so in an abrupt manner. Blantant bias is where a person outright makes it clear they he or she is prejudiced. A good example of blatant bias is the Klu Klux Klan (KKK) who act unreservedly to make sure the whole world knows what they believe to be true and right chinchin

What is the largest possible whole number that becomes 4000 when rounded to the nearest hundred?

4000


What is the largest number that rounds to 60000?

65000. Some people, ignorant of bias and its effect, require the digit 5 to be rounded up in all cases. This introduces an upward bias in calculations for the following reason: 0 is not rounded. The digits 1, 2, 3 and 4 are rounded down The digits 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are rounded up. In the long term, therefore, there would by fewer incidences of rounding down compared to rounding up. As a simple example, the mean of the first 20 integers, calculated from their rounded values is 11, not 10.5 which is the correct value. To avoid this bias, 5 MUST be rounded down half the time and up half the time. The conventional way to do this while maintaining reproducibility of calculations is to round 5 so that the last surviving digit is even.


How do you convert 2.5 into a whole number?

You can round it down to 2 (not up to 3 - and if you want a long lecture on the bias introduced by rounding up all 5s, then contact me separately.Or you can multiply by 2 (or any even number).Or you can divide by 2.5Or you can add 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 etcOr subtract 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 etc


What are the smallest and largest whole numbers that round to 170000 when rounded to the nearest ten thousand?

They are 165001 and 174999.Many schools will teach that 165000 should be rounded up to 170000 but this is incorrect since it introduces an upward bias. The IEEE standard 754 is to round up to an even digit. See also en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding#Round_half_to_even


What is 2.05 to one decimal place?

It is 2.0Most schools teach you to always round 5 up. However, doing so is inappropriate because it introduces an upward bias. The IEEE (Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers) standard 754 is to round 5 up or down so that the new last digit is even.
