Question

A radio talk show host asks listeners to call the radio station and give their opinions on a proposed new city ordinance. He uses the opinions of 200 callers to conclude that the voters are overwhelmingly opposed to the ordinance.


Why is this sample likely to be biased?

Answer 1

It's biased because the talk show may attract only an audience of people of a certain political denomination, so the other political party is not represented by the randomly chosen 200 callers.

Answer 2

thank you

Answer 3

No problem!! Glad to help!!:)
