Answer 2

a. Yes, because it does not state how many dentists were surveyed.

Explanation:

The graph doesn't show how many dentists were actually surveyed, which is a very important factor in interpreting results. Some people could have their own assumptions in this case. Some would think they only surveyed 5 dentists rather than 30 dentists, which affects the percentage or outcome of the result. The sample size in a survey is very crucial when it comes to conducting a research as well as analyzing the result. It will show a transparent distribution of the survey responses.
