Abstract
Subjects were given a drawing of a car crash to observe. Then the drawing was taken away and the subjects were given a question pertaining to the speed of the crash. There were two different questions distributed to the subjects. One question was written with no bias or special wording, while the other question had a bias and special wording. The hypothesis was that the question bias would effect the response of the subject.
