Answer 1

Answer:

• Dante Ferris is the best wide receiver in the league.

• CJ Ramirez is the worst of these three players.

Explanation:

The above two statements showed bias because they cannot be proven by the stats given.

Dante Ferris might be the best wide receiver of the three players shown here but that does not translate to being the best in the league because we do not have data on the rest of the players in the league.

CJ Ramirez cannot be said to be the worst of the players based on such few stats as given here. This statement therefore shows bias as it lacks sufficient evidence.
