English term or phrase: bias
Definition from Bureau of Justice Assistance:
The extent to which a measurement, sampling, or analytic method systematically underestimates or overestimates the true value of an attribute. FOR EXAMPLE, words, sentence structure, attitudes, and mannerisms may unfairly influence a respondent's answer to a question. Bias in questionnaire data can stem from a variety of other factors, including choice of words, sentence structure, and the sequence of questions.

Example sentence(s):
  • Increasing the sample size tends to reduce the sampling error; that is, it makes the sample statistic less variable. However, increasing sample size does not affect survey bias. A large sample size cannot correct for the methodological problems (undercoverage, nonresponse bias, etc.) that produce survey bias. stattrek.com
  • If, for example, the purpose is measuring average household income and the households without a phone have lower average income than others, ignoring the nonphone group will lead to an upward bias of average household income in the population. Of course the size of the bias would probably be limited in this example, because the group of households without a phone connection is small. rand.org
  • The Internet is an attractive mode of data collection to survey researchers due to cost savings and timeliness in comparison with other modes. However, survey estimates are subject to coverage bias if sampled persons with Internet access are systematically different from those without Internet access who were excluded from the survey.

Example sentence(s):
  • मीडिया सलाहकार ओम शर्मा ने बताया कि सूद के साथ बैठक में प्रचंड ने कहा कि यद्यपि नेपाल की जनता सेना प्रमुख प्रकरण में भारत की कथित भूमिका से नाखुश है, फिर भी सरकार में नई दिल्ली के खिलाफ कोई पूर्वाग्रह नहीं है। - Navbharat Times  
  • कम उम्र के कर्मचारियों को लेकर आमतौर पर लोगों में कई पूर्वाग्रह होते हैं। यदि आपका व्यवहार उन पूर्वाग्रहों को मजबूत बनाता रहा तो अपनी छवि सुधारना आपके लिए कठिन हो सकता है। - Webdunia.Hindi  
  • किशोरों पर किए गए एक अनुसंधान में यह बात सामने आई है कि वह आसानी से पूर्वाग्रह का शिकार हो जाते हैं और विश्वासघात करने वाले अपने साथियों के साथ कडाई से पेश आते हैं। - Boloji.Com  

Explanation:

सर्वेक्षण के संदर्भ में पूर्वाग्रह का आशय कमोबेश समाजशास्त्रीय पूर्वाग्रह से है जो किसी निश्चित परिणाम या समूह विशेष के हित साधन के लिए सर्वेक्षण को प्रभावित करता है।
