Answer :

Let's analyze and evaluate each of the given statements based on the statistics from the table.

1. Dante Ferris is the best wide receiver in the league.
- This statement is subjective since it labels Dante Ferris as the "best" wide receiver. It requires an opinion that might be influenced by personal feelings or biases. Therefore, this statement demonstrates bias.

2. Anthony Hall has more receptions than CJ Ramirez.
- Comparing the number of receptions:
- Anthony Hall: 97
- CJ Ramirez: 89
- Since 97 is greater than 89, this statement is factually correct.

3. Anthony Hall has the fewest number of touchdowns.
- Comparing the number of touchdowns:
- Anthony Hall: 10
- Dante Ferris: 13
- CJ Ramirez: 12
- Since 10 is less than both 13 and 12, this statement is factually correct.

4. CJ Ramirez is the worst of these three players.
- This statement is subjective as it labels CJ Ramirez as the "worst" player, which involves personal judgment rather than objective analysis. This viewpoint can be influenced by bias.

5. Dante Ferris has the most receptions and touchdowns.
- Comparing both receptions and touchdowns:
- Receptions:
- Dante Ferris: 104
- Anthony Hall: 97
- CJ Ramirez: 89
- Touchdowns:
- Dante Ferris: 13
- Anthony Hall: 10
- CJ Ramirez: 12
- Since Dante Ferris has the highest numbers in both categories, this statement is factually correct.

6. CJ Ramirez ran for more yards than either Ferris or Hall.
- Comparing the number of yards:
- CJ Ramirez: 1,519
- Dante Ferris: 1,404
- Anthony Hall: 1,305
- Since 1,519 is greater than both 1,404 and 1,305, this statement is factually correct.

From the analysis, the statements that best demonstrate bias are:
- "Dante Ferris is the best wide receiver in the league."
- "CJ Ramirez is the worst of these three players."

These statements reflect personal opinions and judgments rather than objective statistical comparisons.
