A student poll on your university web site for athletics asks, "how high do you think the basketball team will finish this year: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th?" an article posted a week later reports "students predict basketball team to finish within the top 5 out of 16 teams in the conference." what kind of manipulation occurred here?

Biased Scale Lie

Explanation:

A Biased scale lie occurs when research options are given in such a way that the results will be biased. It essentially positions the participants to give information in a certain way so that the results of the research/survey will come out how the researcher wanted.

Here the student poll organizers wanted the poll to reflect that they would be in the top 5 and so acted to make that happen by including no other positions outside the top 5 in the poll.
