'''Bias''' has numerous meanings. It literally means ''diagonal'' or ''slant.''
== Electronics ==
Bias is a [[DC]] voltage level added to an [[AC]] signal which is to be amplified. This is done to put the AC signal within the amplifying transistor's linear operating area.
Bias is also a name for a high-frequency sine wave that is added to an audio signal as part of the process of magnetic tape recording; it has the effect of eliminating distortion that would otherwise be caused by magnetic hysteresis.
== Statistics ==
Bias means flaws in the collection, analysis or interpretation of research data that lead to incorrect conclusions.
== Social Context ==
- Bias is also the predisposition toward one belief before another.
