Use the image to answer the question. (A boxplot on a number line from 13 to 28 is titled Weights of Hand Warmers in grams. The 5 points on the boxplot are 13, 16, 19, 24, and 28. The box is from 16 to 24. A vertical line is at 18. A line connects 13 and 16. A line connects 24 and 28.) The boxplot displays the data for the weights of homemade hand warmers. What is a possible way statistical bias could have affected this data? (1 point) Responses Every 5th hand warmer that was created was weighed. Every 5th hand warmer that was created was weighed. Some hand warmers were filled with dry beans, and some were filled with uncooked rice. Some hand warmers were filled with dry beans, and some were filled with uncooked rice.

A possible way statistical bias could have affected this data is: The scale was faulty and did not accurately measure the weight of each item.
This could lead to inaccurate weights being recorded, skewing the results of the boxplot and affecting the overall analysis of the weights of the hand warmers.
