I didn't say you were wrong. I only wanted to know that you understand why you chose an answer over the other.
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes because Since customers that come to a restaurant repeatedly usually like the service, the responses to the surveys should be positive.
Therefore, this is an example of biased sampling.
